Anglesea
Baptist Op Shop expands with each visit. ‘Location Location Location’ as
travellers on the Great Ocean Road drop-off some olde stuffe (buckled cutlery,
slightly frayed clothing, fashion-victim CDs) on the way through. This September
there’s a whole new room just for books. I gravitate, as usual, toward
cookbooks, art, Literature, spirituality. The shelf above spirituality holds
tall books, like ‘Paper Blossoms : A Book of Beautiful Bouquets for the Table.’
(San Francisco, Chronicle Books, 2010). Five pop-up pages, including a lotus
water garden: blue hard cardboard pond, green lifting lilypads, wings-up
dragonfly, two flowers of spiritual awakening. Sold: $4.
