SHOP WITH US – YOU ’ LL SAVE MORE THAN LIVES

There are all sorts of reasons to get excited about second-hand shopping at our Grassy Park charity store , Beau ’ s Boutique !
Top of the list , of course , is money – whether it ’ s clothes or crockery , there are always good quality bargains to be found . The second reason is simply because of the way second-hand items look . Old books are great for collages and you could end up with a range of ridiculously kitsch , funny things in all their multi-coloured glass glory that you would never find anywhere else .
Then there ’ s the thrill of the hunt , the chance of a wonderful discovery within the unpredictability of bric-a-brac shelves , where the enticing and the sometimes downright bizarre sit side-by-side . Your shopping excursion quickly becomes a treasure hunt and what could be more fun than that ! But the most important reason for buying second-hand goods is sustainability .
You ’ ll be using and recycling things that have already had a previous life . It makes sense to purchase pre-loved , functional essentials rather than wasting your hard-earned money on brand-new items . And with our charity shop , you get the added bonus of knowing that your money is going directly towards the care of our animals on site .
Schedule your treasure hunt now , you never know what you may find !
