LET'S BE GRATEFUL

2011-03-20T16:20:00.003+11:00

I think as mothers and, in my case, a grandmother it is difficult not to think of the little ones and want to hug them close at the moment. So many dire things happening. How much are they taking in - should we be protecting them more. Keeping them away from the news on tv, not talking too alarmingly about natural disasters, fighting in Libya, etc. Do you ever read Mia Freedman? She sprouts so much common sense. Trust me - go to www.mamamia.com.au and click on Be Grateful. Then scroll down and read some older posts - book one is good!

HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY

2011-03-17T23:13:00.004+11:00

Feeling a bit Irish as it is March 17th! Well my name is Pat! I was born on 29 February (Yes Leap Year - yes I am still a teenager!) and christened Patricia on St Patrick's day!

Green is for St Patrick's day and "green" is for being environmentally friendly. Come sell me your kids outgrown clothing and buy some re-cycled in the next size. All good!

Well stocked in Boys sizes 2-3 at present - usually the hardest size for us accumulate.

MARCH IS GOOD

2011-03-07T13:11:00.003+11:00

MARCH IS GOOD! IT IS DEFINITELY A PURPLE MONTH!
I decided to ignore January and February this year - couple of nothings really!

But now - wow - we have great autumn/winter kidswear arriving daily, we have lots of you popping in - all good.

For those of you who sell to us - now's the time to ring - March bookings are full up but April is fine. We are keen to get more toys - they are selling well.

Remember our Fancy Dress section for School special days and birthday parties - ages babies to 16yrs. Also formal hire. Check photos on website www.wearitagainsam.com.au

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

2010-12-06T21:44:00.002+11:00

Everybody seems to want to make us feel guilty about Christmas Shopping these days. Rampant consumerism they say! We should grow our own, make our own, wrap things in homemade paper and cards. Give our family and friends "do good" kinds of presents - money for a goat in a faraway land, etc.

Why??? Life is pretty serious and earnest the rest of the year. What's wrong with some silliness, some prettiness, some cuteness, some wide-eyed "wonderness" at Christmas. Why do we have to be spoil sports to the current generation?

So I say go out and buy some plastic treasure which will break before New Year, some politically incorrect doll which "everyone else has" and some drinks and lollies which "will rot their teeth". Give them to your kids and grand kids and watch their little faces light up with joy. Loosen up guys!

THOUGHTS ON MOVING

2010-12-02T01:22:00.003+11:00

IT'S DECEMBER ALREADY! WHERE DID THE LAST 3 MONTHS GO? MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE MOVED HOUSE - OR UNIT TO BE EXACT. I SWEAR EVERY TIME I MOVE IT WILL BE MY LAST BUT ..........
I WAS VERY GOOD THIS TIME I ACTUALLY THREW SOME THINGS OUT! MY UNIVERSITY NOTES - I'M A GRANDMOTHER SO YOU CAN GUESS HOW LONG I HAVE HAD THEM FOR. THE MINUTES OF EVERY CHILDCARE CENTRE, SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH! OH YES FOLKS I HAVE BEEN RUTHLESS.
NOW IF I COULD JUST BRING MYSELF TO DO SOMETHING WITH ALL THE KIDS PARAPHERNALIA - KINDY DRAWINGS AND THE LIKE. AS THERE ARE 5 CHILDREN AND THE YOUNGEST IS 31 I THINK THE TIME HAS COME!

WHAT ABOUT ME?

2010-08-30T22:17:00.004+10:00

Calling all "invisible" Grandmothers. When did people stop seeing us? There we were making decisions, organizing our families' lives, making a contribution when suddenly no one could see us any more.
I am 5'10" but I can stand at a counter while the world is served around me and nobody even sees me. I can be in a group and make a comment and wonder if I've lost my voice because nobody hears me. Half the surveys don't even have a space for my age group and date of birth.
Men as they get older get "elder statesmen" status - they can make the most stupid observations and just get a kindly, tolerant smile. Women just become "invisible".
Grandmothers! We need a revolution. We demand to be noticed!
What about me! It isn't fair!

NATURE VERSUS NURTURE

2010-08-25T09:00:00.003+10:00

MANY YEARS AGO WHEN UNDERTAKING AN ARTS DEGREE AT SYDNEY UNIVERSITY MAJORING IN PSYCHOLOGY AND ECONOMICS, I HANDED IN AN ESSAY IN MY PSYCHOLOGY CLASS ARGUING THE CASE AS TO WHICH SHAPED A PERSON MOST - HEREDITY OR ENVIRONMENT. AS AN "OH SO WISE" SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD MY ESSAY CAME OUT STRONGLY ON THE SIDE OF THE ENVIRONMENT, I.E. NURTURE!
NOW AS A MOTHER OF FIVE, GRANDMOTHER OF SIX I WOULD WRITE A VERY DIFFERENT ESSAY!
OUR YOUNG ONES ARE BORN SUCH INDIVIDUALS - WE AS PARENTS JUST GO ALONG FOR THE RIDE!

I WEAR MANY HATS

2010-08-23T09:12:00.002+10:00

Today I am wearing my Grandmother hat. This weekend I attended the 1st birthday party of my youngest grandchild, Henry. Just a family affair but with 5 adult children and their partners and kids we make quite a crowd. My daughter served simple beautiful food she had made herself and, in a small sunny back garden in Tempe in Sydney, the world seemed pretty good. I counted my blessings.

A TRUE STORY

2010-08-19T21:52:00.003+10:00

For 5 of the longest minutes of my life I lost sight of my 4 year old grand daughter last week. We were in the crowded food court of a large shopping centre and she wanted to go to the loo. I turned to pick up my handbag from the table, reached for her hand and she was gone. She was nowhere to be seen. Five minutes later she walked up to me, smiling happily probably wondering why I looked so upset! As she is inclined to tall stories I have no idea where she went and I never will.

It reminded me of the time over 35 years ago when my own daughter went missing from a family outing and when we found her she protested "I wasn't lost Mum - you were!"

Which only proves that "the more things change the more they remain the same"
or that I should not be trusted to mind children! Pat

GOOD DAD - BAD DAD

2010-08-17T19:34:00.003+10:00

The other day in the shop a Dad came in looking for a costume to hire for his little girl for Book Week. She tried on lots of costumes and liked each one. Dad, however, remained worried that they were not finding the right one.

Finally he narrowed it down to two and asked one of my staff members
"If you were judging the competition, which one would you make the winner?" Hey Dad - it's Book Week not the Oscars!

Our kids' clothes and maternity wear are high quality and great brands but they do not cost you a fortune! Our books and toys are "as new".

Don't buy cheap new stuff which will fall apart tomorrow. Visit us and pick up amazing bargains. Why is our stock inexpensive - because it is second hand - but in such fantastic condition only you will know!!!

Where have you moved?

2008-10-29T09:46:00.008+11:00

Wear it Again Sam has not moved far.

We are on Spit Rd, directly opposite Greater Union Cinemas. If you're heading north to Manly from Spit Junction, we are at number 50 Spit Rd, between Vintage Cellars and the Post Office.

Also, there is access via the lane in the back of the building. Horden Place, as the lane is called, runs from Bridgepoint Centre, behind the Newsagent, Oracle Books, Vinnies, Vintage Cellars - all the way along till it joins Ourimbah Rd.

Judging by the pedestrian traffic this lane is already a favourite shortcut for many, so look out for us the next time you use it.

If not, walk down from Bridgepoint the next time you're getting your groceries - it is not far to walk. We still offer a great range of kids clothes, books and toys at low, low prices.

But where are you precisely?
Well, to be precise I offer you this link to Google Maps (they even have that cool street level vision!)

MAKE MONEY FOR CHRISTMAS

2007-11-04T13:51:00.000+11:00

Sell us your unwanted toys and have some extra cash for Christmas.

We need some good quality toys to sell at our store for Christmas. Call us on 99601934 and make an appointment to sell us the toys your children no longer play with.
They must be washed and cleaned and with batteries included. (You may take batteries back after we confirm they are working fine)
No soft toys like teddy-bears - everyone has too many of those - and no toys with 100's of pieces where it is impossible to ensure they are "all there".
We also take kids' tables and chairs, doll's prams, etc. dolls' houses and the like.
We also buy dvds, cd's, and videos (only popular ones e.g. Wiggles, Hi Five and Disney)

So get cleaning out the cupboards while kids are occupied - otherwise they put them all back!!- and give us a call - soon.

SCHOOL HOLIDAYS

2007-10-07T15:29:00.000+10:00

I admit to have been a bit of a "failed blogger" lately. I could regale you with all sorts of amazing and funny excuses - but I will spare you my humour.

Just come visit Wear it Again Sam during the school holidays. We have the most wonderful selection of stock for all sizes. (Remember, we go up to size 12-14).

Parking under building for 3 hours - lift to shop - play area and videos for kids. - what's stopping you!!!

Bring your Samsaver card and build up your points! Haven't got one yet? Now's your chance!!

LONG TIME NO HEAR

2007-08-13T21:12:00.000+10:00

What's happening at Wear it Again, Sam?

Start getting your kids' summer gear ready for us to sell. We commence taking appointments in September - so call us then. Re-wash everything - try soaking in Napisan. To bring in to us just fold neatly and pile in plastic bags. If bringing shoes - must be in very good condition. Toys must be washed where possible and have batteries included.

If you like our store and our website and tune in to our blog - tell your friends. I know it is tempting to want to snap up the bargains yourself but have pity on your friends who pay full price for designer labels.

We have a sale coming up in July - watch this space!

WHAT A CONTRAST

2007-06-16T13:26:00.000+10:00

I carried on about brilliant weather in my last update - and now we are having appalling conditions with rain and wind, floods and damage!
We bought a holidy house in Toronto on Lake Macquarie last year and just love to get out of Sydney on the weekend. With 5 adult children and 5 grandchildren it is a wonderful oasis of calm for us to enjoy each other's company.
But not the last two weekends! If you live up that way or on the Central Coast and got damaged or lost power I really feel for you. Hope things will improve for you quickly.
Maybe you could pass on to other mums your stories of coping through it all with young children. Sometimes telling others helps and reminds the rest of us that things aren't too bad after all.
Leave us a comment if you feel like it - as long as your power is on!

WHAT A BEAUT WEEKEND

2007-05-06T15:33:00.000+10:00

We all had to dig down to the bottom of the washing basket to find something summer to wear this weekend. Wasn't it a wonderful 2 days!!

However, commonsense tells us that it will get cold again and with young children we need to be prepared - they probably will not fit into what they wore last year!

We added 100's of items to our great stock last week - probably our biggest intake for many months. Come visit before it runs out the door. All so easy - level access from Militlary Rd. or park under building for 3 hours free and take lift to shop. We have low prices, all the best brands including Fred Bare, Seed, Country Rd., IKKS, Catamini, Kenzo, Timberland - you name it! We have a kids play area, we take all cards, we layby and we give a full refund if you have to bring back a purchase.

We have lots of experience helping mums (and grandmothers) stock up with clothing (we're wiz's on picking the right size), toys, books, videos, dvd's etc.

Our Maternity section is really becoming popular - with items from $10 to around $45 it won't break the bank to look good during your pregnancy

TALK TO US

2007-04-21T10:41:00.000+10:00

We would love to hear from you. Send us a comment through this "blog". If you have visited our store already - let us know what we could do to make shopping at Wear it Again, Sam even easier. If you've never been you might have a question about how to find us or more info about what we stock. Feel free to talk to us on this site.

Maybe you just want to rant and rave about kids, shopping with/for kids, brand quality, etc. etc. - fire away!!!!!!

SCHOOL HOLIDAYS

2007-04-11T17:34:00.000+10:00

Hope all you Mums and Dads had a bit of R & R over the Easter Holidays. Now is the time to stock up with warm clothing for Autumn and Winter - the kids really need long sleeved tee-shirts and warmer pants or jeans for the cooler mornings and evenings.

We are wonderfully stocked up and are fully booked up with people selling us their clothes all through April! You could pop in every few days and find new things on the shelves!

For example - we have some great Diesel jeans which would fit 10 -12 year old girls at present - they are in great condition - as new.

Last week we got some terrific things for 000 - 0 baby boys!

Remember, our shop is easy to visit - lots of room, play area - helpful staff and parking underneath the building - free for 3 hours!

Visit us soon!

Hi all,

We are coming to the end of a bumper winter season. We took in almost 16,000 items and have nearly sold them all! We still have some winter clothes left but you better get in quick!

Thanks to all of you who sold us your lovely clothes and for those who are enjoying them as we speak!

Isn't it amazing to see summer stock in stores as early as July - although I think some of the older kids only have one season these days! As promised we are getting ready to start taking in summer clothes in September.

NB. We are not taking appointments yet but stay watching and we will put up a post when we start later this month.

I hope to see you all in store soon.

Regards

Pat Purcell
Owner

PS. And as a special offer to those who shop in August if you spend over $50 we give you a $10 voucher to spend in September.

What great value!
