THRIFT SHOPS, os brechós do bem




Desde que chegamos em Perth, tenho um especial interesse pelas lojas da RED CROSS e SAVE THE CHILDREN, que recebem doações e realizam vendas dos mais variados tipos de produtos, normalmente com até 95% de desconto: de vestuário passando por cama, mesa e banho, além de louças, móveis etc




Doei e ainda doo muita coisa para essas duas instituições que ficam bem pertinho da minha casa, em Scarborough, mas existem centenas espalhadas por Perth.

Recentemente, descobri que são chamadas THRIFT SHOPS ou OP SHOPS (o “OP” vem de opportunity/oportunidade). E oportunidades realmente não faltam quando a gente resolve pisar numa dessas encantadoras lojinhas, seja pra doar ou comprar bem barato.

Os preços são inacreditáveis e os produtos também, se você não tem problemas com coisas de segunda mão.

A gente precisa ter paciência, mas vale à pena! Os itens estão dispostos de forma bem organizada e fica até bem fácil de encontrar o que estamos procurando (e também o que NÃO estamos procurando).

A SALVOS Store, que fica em Mount Hawthorn é uma das maiores que conheci e tem coisas lindas com preços baixinhos. 



Não resisti e comprei essa bolsinha fashion por AU$6! Nova e linda, simplesmente encantadora...fiquei hipnotizada...ela olhando pra mim e eu pra ela...Amor à primeira vista – rsrsrsr



Nessa mesma loja você encontra calçados, jaquetas de couro e jeans baratíssimos. Juro que antes de ir a qualquer lugar agora, dou uma passadinha por lá!

E as caixas de coleta das doações ficam bem na entrada, do lado de fora da loja, separadas por tipo de doação: roupas, sapatos, bolsas, louças, cintos, vestuário infantil  e por aí vai. Vc nem precisa entrar. Deixa sua doação e pronto...

Na Red Cross (Cruz Vermelha), comprei uma blusa de noite e uma mais casual com bordadinhos por AU$8 cada. 






A Isa arrematou por AU$9 uma blusa preta transparente linda!





É claro que cada pessoa prefere ir no OP Shop de seu bairro, mas fiz uma pesquisa rápida e separei as TOP 10. Confiram abaixo com os comentários do blog das thrift tips:

1. Good Sammies Belmont (Abernethy Rd) - this has to be my favourite, I have been going here for 2 years solid and i always walk out with pieces that i was looking for, as well as things that have served me really well!

2. Salvo's Belmont (Abernethy Rd) - i picked up my most favourite piece of clothing here, a $699 Alannah Hill leather jacket from runway 2009 (My willing heart) in a beautiful navy blue with buckles. I got this for $20...bargain of he century!

3. Salvo's Balcatta (Balcatta Rd) - my sister in law and i spent at least 2 hours in this place recently and i actually walked out spending well over $80! BUT...i purchased a pair of knee high suede and leather shoes BRAND NEW in the box from Hobbs (in other words...RRP up to $500) if i have time after work, i duck into this op shop for a quick look!


4. Salvo's Malaga (Marshall Rd) - this is my local...it's huge and filled to the brim in treasures, these guys have a spot for really precious pieces too (Jewellery, handbags) and have displayed things high and low so it's like a really amazing treasure hunt!


5. Willetton Good Sammies (4 / 147 High Rd) - i have only been here twice but the first time i went with my sister in law Lisa we had the BEST time! I picked up 3 pairs of work pants (dotti, witchery and review) for $1 each...yes ONE DOLLA! HOLLAAAA! I also picked up a Friday the 13th jacket from Dangerfield for $5!


6. Red Cross North Perth (Fitzgerald St) - this place is really special, they take all the designer pieces and clothing with tags and pop them in this little shop, you actually walk in and you think it's a boutique thats how neat and tidy it is! I have bought a lot of brand new with tags designer clothing here, it's a little bit more expensive but it's worth it!


7. Retro Vinnies Northbridge (William St) - the Retro Vinnies is really cool, i got myself a beautiful 1970's red polka dot blazer from here for $15 and it's served me well! It is known for all of it's vintage wear so if you are on the look out for a stand out retro piece, go here! They are not the most cheapest op shop but you can still get great bargains!


8. Good Sammies Vic Park (Albany Hwy) - this place has been great for all my staples, jeans, and work clothing, if i am looking for something in particular such as the Sass & Bide jeans i picked up last week, then i can be sure that i will get what i need here!


9. Good Sammies Balcatta (Balcatta Rd) - i have found this Op Shop to be really great for teapots, teacups and really vintage Royal Doulton pieces, it's quite small and they don't have a LOT of these pieces but when they do, it's worth it! They do charge a little bit more for the crockery pieces but that's just because they know they are worth a lot more than what they are selling for!


10. Anglicare Morley (Russell St) - the place for really awesome retro furniture, not that i am ever on the lookout for these pieces (my house wont allow it!) but they have had quite a few awesome 50s-70s pieces of furniture from stools to telephone seats and dressing tables!
Pra quem preferir visitar as OP Shops do próprio bairro, aí estão elas em ordem  alfabética. 

Boas compras galera!!!

Para os amantes de CERVEJA!



Esse é um registro que realmente vale à pena. Principalmente pra quem é cervejeiro(a), como a amiga que vos “fala”.

Ramírez e sua turma do trabalho descobriram uma Brewery (cervejaria) onde podemos fazer a cerveja que quisermos!  É na Billabong Brewing! E eles também fazem cerveja glúten free, olha que máximo!






Tive a oportunidade de ver parte do processo na semana passada e foi muito divertido.
Primeiro, a turma da cerveja já tinha feito uma espécie de Muller e a comemoração foi na casa da Paula e do Adriano, com direito a pastéis com recheios variados.

Mas brasileiro é fogo e começa a inovar. Na segunda vez arriscaram dois tipos de cerveja: a de trigo e uma draft. E eu participei do engarrafamento.

Mas vamos por etapas...

A Brewery tem um livro de receitas o todo o processo é monitorado pelos rapazes do local, que ajudam os cervejeiros a fazer tudo como “manda o figurino”. Você escolhe a cerveja e vai colocando os ingredientes na medida certa. A “loura” ou “morena”, como vc preferir, fica fermentando por uns 15 dias e aí a turma já pode voltar pra engarrafar.

Juntamos cascos de cerveja por muito tempo (moleza pra quem gosta do esporte!) e chegamos cheios de disposição. Ah, eles têm as chapinhas pra fechar as garrafas, vc não precisa levar. Também têm os cascos, mas normalmente são pagos à parte.

Cada cerveja sai por apenas AU$1 e como  a quantidade é muito grande, dá pra dividir entre a turma sem problemas. Principalmente da segunda vez, que eram 2 barris!

Chegamos com nossas garrafinhas e iniciamos o processo de esterilização dos cascos.




Devidamente esterilizados, são colocados num suporte plástico para começarmos a engarrafar a cerveja. Os barris das nossas cervejas são conectados às torneirinhas e vamos lá!


No início, desperdicei um pouco de cerveja até acertar a medida/espuma, mas depois fiquei profissa e mantive quase todas as garrafinhas no mesmo nível.




A Luana penou pra lacrar as garrafas com as chapinhas, tem que ter força e jeito. A Astrid já virou profissional. E eu evitei essa parte, achei bem mais divertido ficar perto da torneira, enchendo meu copo de vez em quando!






Pois é... a gente já começa a beber ali mesmo. Eu tinha levado uns belisquetes que comeríamos na casa da Aline mais tarde, mas antecipamos a comemoração – rsrsrsrs

É engraçado como o brasileiro faz bagunça e agita qualquer ambiente. Notamos que uns australianos também estavam engarrafando a sua cerveja. Os caras eram de um profissionalismo de fazer inveja, com engradados e cascos padronizados. Os nossos...
nem conto!

Mas valeu pra caramba e o grupo que entrou na divisão da cerveja era enorme!

Gostei bem mais da Draft do que da de Trigo e estamos devidamente abastecidos por um bom tempo.

Mas sei de gente que a cerveja já acabou, né? Já temos que programar a próxima!
