I visited The Warehouse the other day to see what it was all about…read more Owner Sarah described it as a place selling rustic used hardware and homewares, and that's exactly how it is. In fact, it's almost a bit of an antique store. In amongst tools and hardware of all sorts are wall hooks, books, tables, teacups and evena spinning wheel! There were a number of things which caught my eye, in particular a gorgeous blue table and some large metal flowers. Everything looked clean and in good shape for selling. Though not necessarily cheap, their prices seemed reasonable to me given the quality of mose of the wares. If you are looking for tools, this is a good place to go - they have heaps. There were many shovels and garden tools, some ladders etc. I would recommend this place if you are looking to redecorate your home or add a rustic feeling. I also suggest checking out this little gem if you love vintage shopping! There is a relaxed, quirky atmosphere and plently of eye-catching wares! The owners were lovely to talk to, and happy to show me around the shop. I really liked how this adds to the little bundle of business in Woodside. It feels right at home and being a little different to most second-hand stores in the area gives it a bit of an edge. It definitely suits the atmosphere of the Adelaide Hills. It is on the main street, but set back, so keep that in mind or you might walk straight past it! Highly recommend going for a browse! Loved it.

Thank you Salvo's, thank you for being so conveniently placed along my daily walking route…read more I love digging around in thrift stores, and this one has handed me quite a few pieces of designer clothing in its time. Guess there must be some cashed up people in my area! I like that the clothing has been sorted with care, and even if it's not to your taste at least there's no trash in this store. there is furniture, books, accessories, shoes - you name it. I wish they would get someone else to do their merchandising though, then they might pull in some more customers. selfishly though I kinda want them to stay away so I can keep all the treasures to myself. seriously though, the clothing they throw on the models in the window needs some rethinking, but dont let that deter you, there is some great stuff here on a regular basis.

Living up to my thrifting nature, I continue my quest to share all my favourite second hand and…read moresalvage destinations. This brings me to share one of my local spots to rummage called Windmill Hill. Windmill Hill is located between Hahndorf and Mount Barker just off Mount Barker Road. It is a transfer, salvage and recycle station. There is a section for rubbish and recyclables, and then there is a salvage store. So, on your way to the dump you can sort through what you think may be able to be reused and save it! I love the idea in having a salvage store next to a waste station. It really makes you think twice about what you are throwing into landfill. The guys that run this store are really creative too and have been restoring old BBQ's into potting stations to sell. Windmill hill store a great selection of wood, tools, records, electrical gear, etc.. There are a heap of items that have been pulled from houses being refurbished. I have seen some cool old sinks and doors here. There is also a great collection of ceramics, glass bottles and items to use for gardening. I have just bought a house and I will be back for wood, fencing and tools. If you need building materials for your house or want some cool vintage ceramic displays, check out this place.

Definitely worth a look. The only downside is they need to get rid of non moving stock a bit quicker. I've seen the same George Foreman grills there for about 3 years. I'm not sure if they get everything from the dump next door but I think you can donate too. They also have a great selection of building materials , bikes, outdoor tools and other things that your salvation army/goodwill won't take.

There are lots of accessories to be had as well and the prices are pretty darn good. I saw a hat for $12, leather belts between $10 and $16, dresses for $30 and $40. What a lovely compliment to all the antique stores in the area and provides for those vintage and secondhand fans who want the wheat and the chaff pre-sorted.

Fortunately my Girlfriend, oddly enough, does wear womens clothing and spent quite some time in th the Replay Emporium.....which also meant that I spent quite some time there also. Yay for me. As is the case with most of these recycled clothing 'boutiques' the used rags they stock are not on the crap side of the scale. In fact there were a number of items that really made my eyes pop.....I mean my girlfriends eyes.....yeah, thats it. For those out there with a shoe fetish, there are a select few funky examples to drool over (none of them in a mens size 12 unfortunately).

Replay Emporium, ahhh what can I say?…read more I stumbled into this place for the first time when I was showing my visiting relatives around Hahndorf. Little did I know this place would soon capture me with its fashion, trinkets and accessories - not to mention squeeze the life out of my wallet... Walking in, the first things that caught my eye was the cute homeware decor to the right of the entrance. There sat different photo frames, necklace stands, mugs, vintage clothing hooks with such intricate detail, and much more. There were only about three small displays, but I swear I spent about half an hour looking at those alone. They weren't expensive either! I bought a beautiful ballerina jewellery stand and the vintage clothing hooks that are yet to be drilled into my bedroom wall. Next, the fashion. You would never know that this is a recycled clothing boutique. The clothes selected are still intact and of good quality. I bought a minkpink black dress and a cute pantsuit both for under $40. The rings and accessories in the cabinet displays are, however, on the more expensive side. I guess it's because they're hand made, not to mention unique in style. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone who loves shopping, or a boyfriend looking for a gift perhaps..?

With most businesses, high frequency of customers and prominent location usually lend to success and high quality. Unfortunately, with op-shops this can be a fatal draw back. Strolling along the aisles in this community store, you can't help but feel some other young trendster got there before and picked up all the cool shirts, jeans and hats. They left you with daggy, out of size dress pants and jackets missing buttons and smelling kind of like death. It's a shame. I can't speak for the women's stuff, but I assume it would be the same or worse for them. Regardless this is a good store to find simple second hand clothing. Daggy shirts to paint in, or throw away pants and jackets for a costume party. There's also a lot of kids stuff kicking around, if you want some crazy toys or old VHS and story books for the young 'uns. The women that work their are lovely too, and offer some of the lowest prices I've seen in my op-shopping experience.

There are often some good labels tucked in amongst the maturer lady items and their front cabinet is well worth a look.

You know the ones guys... You know what I'm talking about... It's full of little figurines, jewelry, the sorts of things girls love. There's not much here for the guys except maybe a place to shop for birthdays, Christmas etc. The main draw for girls seems to be the vintage clothes which my partner spent ages flicking through. Hats are also sold that seem to accompany the clothes nicely. Well, I'm no fashion expert but they look alright to me... There you go, if you're a girl you'll love it. If you're a guy it's the ideal gift shop for your other half.

There are things on the shelf here you can tell have been sitting there for years, and others that will be gone tomorrow. It's all a bit of a muddle inside because they don't have a lot of space. Clothing racks in the middle, books, hats, shoes, toys, old VHS and electronics on the walls. A lot of the stuff is totally useless, but there are some treasures hidden away behind some of it. Just takes some conviction to digging to find it. We went by the other day and picked up an old camera, some funky shirt and an old golf bag for less than 20 bucks. The girls in here are very generous price wise. The store doesn't have a postal number, but it's located on the Southern side of Carey Gully Road from the freeway. It's easy enough to spot if it's open, as you'll see boxes of trinkets and clothes racks outside, but otherwise you might just confuse it for a defunct cottage too close to the road. The opening hours are tricky, as with many other op shops. Basically, they're open when they're open every day except Tuesday. My advice is to hit the place up in the mid morning to afternoon.
