Chic charity,[url=http://monclerjacketsformenssale.albirank.net/][b]http://monclerjacketsformenssale.albirank.net/[/b][/url]
I'm drawn in by the striking window-display. Two slender mannequins are kitted-out in elegant, eye-catching floral dresses and the flowery theme echoes in the eclectic collection of shoes, bags and fine crockery.
I enter what clearly is really a vintage-lover's dream; the rails are heaving with fashionably retro clothes, the shelves are stacked with delightfully mismatched cups and saucers while lovely, chunky jewellery sits besides exquisite little bags.
Around me, several young ladies gasp audibly, because they pull-out yet another stunner in the rails; one drapes a coat luxuriating within the feel from the sumptuously rich fabric; another checks -out the stylish fascinators, flashing a smile as wide as the sun.
I pinch myself for I've found it hard to believe that this is a charity outlet; the type one typically associates with musty smells,[url=http://woolrichdeutschlandarcticparka.albirank.net/][b]woolrich deutschland[/b][/url], dark and dank interiors,[url=http://duveticadoudoune.halod.com/][b]Femmes Manteaux Duvetica[/b][/url], other people's unwanted clothes and unloved books
Except, Living and Giving Shop, For Save the Children is in a league of its own. Barbara Williams, Living and Giving shop manager, informs me that the store has since grown from strength to strength and is now self-sufficient with donations.
are the key to our success and since Mary's put her name to the shop, her following and popularity works well for bringing a category of donations. Lots of designer, vintage stuff is brought to us, as people know we obtain value for them. Occasionally,[url=http://woolrichdeutschlandarcticparka.albirank.net/][b]woolrich outlet[/b][/url], we all do get celebrity donations; Mary herself contributes a couple of times a year, and that we have really big labels like Ralph Lauren available. So when you've got a £3000 outfit displayed, it creates energy and buzz, a wow-factor in the shop!
The shop, says Barbara, is now similar to a fashion-hub,[url=http://rogerviviershoesshoponline.webmium.com/][b]http://rogerviviershoesshoponline.webmium.com/[/b][/url], and is largely staffed by volunteers many working full-time as solicitors, lawyers who love fashion, and are pleased to put in a few hours in the weekend. And donating one good quality item, as opposed to a bag filled with cheap clothes that break apart soon after washes is encouraged. This trend, says Barbara, is really well-liked by the 30+ age-group, who believe in quality over quantity.
regulars range from stylish yummy-mummies,[url=http://peutereyjacketsuppliers.webmium.com/][b]Peuterey Jacket Peuterey Jacket Manufacturers Peuterey Jacket[/b][/url], who mix and match our vintage and designer pieces with high-street fashion, to funkily dressed students, who're about the look-out for bargains and love revamping styles. With a lot on offer high-fashion at a snip,[url=http://giuseppezanottisneakers.webmium.com/][b]giuseppe zanotti sneakers on sale[/b][/url], not to mention high-standards in interiors the shop easily remains in the public eye. Snapping a bargain and saving a young child hasn't sounded easier,[url=http://duveticadoudoune.halod.com/][b]Femmes Manteaux Duvetica Soldes[/b][/url], has it?
Quick facts
Mary's Living and Donations are located in Stockbridge, Edinburgh, a brief bus ride from the centre. (Adult singles: £1.30, Lothian Bus numbers 24,[url=http://peutereyjacketsuppliers.webmium.com/][b]Peuterey Jacket outlet[/b][/url], 29, 36 and 42)
The region hosts quality cafes, eateries (try the absolutely scrumptious macaroons at Patisserie Madeleine' over the road) and,[url=http://parajumpersoutletjackets.webmium.com/][b]parajumpers vest outlet[/b][/url], of course, wonderfully stocked charity shops
All donations are carefully vetted and priced through the knowledgeable team. Then they're steamed, washed or dry-cleaned before being put on the shop floor
