Collectables

It was so lovely to have Penny and Gus visit today as we celebrate 10 years of Collectables.

Penny, who was CEO of YellowBridge in 2016, was instrumental in driving the vision and development of our boutique op shop, and remains one of our biggest supporters. From the very beginning, she believed in the vision of Collectables and the opportunities it can create for people with disability to learn new skills, build confidence, gain work experience and form meaningful connections.

She and Gus regularly visit, arriving with boxes full of beautiful treasures for our shop. Their generosity, encouragement and ongoing support mean so much to our team 🙏

Thank you, Penny and Gus, for being such an important part of the Collectables story. We are so grateful to have shared this milestone with you. 🏠💛⭐️💝

When it’s cold outside we stay in the shop where it is nice and warm. 🔥
Lindy and Jo were hard at work creating beautiful new stock for their micro social enterprises. From sparkling diamond art to handmade cushions, quilts and sewn creations, every item showcases their creativity, skills and dedication. 🪡🧵

We love seeing the pride and joy that comes from making something special while building confidence, independence and opportunities along the way. Well done ladies 🙏💛⭐️🏠

✨ A little polish goes a long way! ✨

Denise worked her magic on these beautiful vintage hand mirrors, spoons and candle sticks, bringing them back to life and making them shine like new again. Great job, Denise! 💖👏 🏠💛

We looooove new deliveries 😍💛🏠🙏

I love hearing the laughter and chatter around the table as the team takes a well-earned afternoon tea break. ☕💕

Collectables, it’s about so much more than just the shop – it’s about connection, friendship, and creating a place where everyone belongs. 💛😊🙏🏠👬👭👫

It took every ounce of self-control for Julien and I not to accidentally “adopt” these fluffy little supervisors, while dropping donations to the RSPCA Toowoomba today 🐾😂 🐈😻
