Lost and Found

Is the world more blurry than normal because you can’t find your reading glasses? Do you find yourself applying a tube of sunscreen every time you go outside because your hat has gone missing. Can’t find your purse? Your shoes? Then we a MP may just have the solution to ease your frazzled nerves and calm your pounding heart.

Over time, we have had some wonderful success stories with lost and found property, particularly that eventful morning at the Old Bus Depot Markets when a lady left her mobile phone behind in the change rooms. Now it is a contentious issue about whether or not it is appropriate to search a mobile for a contact number, and so, after much debate and prompting from every customer in the shop, we did hit the contacts button and tried to find the word ‘mum’, ‘dad’ or ‘hubby.’ So you can imagine our surprise when we did not find the anticipated family members, rather the number of a certain ex-prime minister who had THAT election campaign in 07. You certainly can’t say that life at MP is un-eventful and the same day after day – after all, it’s not every day you get to ring K Rudd!

And while this day ended in a very excited reunion between technology and owner, there is a box tucked away in the corner of MP that is full of sunglasses, reading glasses, hats and shoes, that haven’t been able to experience that jubilant feeling of going home.

So, if you think you have misplaced some of your treasured items, then just ask our friendly staff next time you are visiting our Fyshwick shop, and  hopefully we  will be able to reunite you and your lost property.

Wow Mel!

When she’s not inspiring the ACT’s brightest young minds as a teacher and having fun at the Old Bus Depot Markets every Sunday, MP’s very own Mel has a passion – for timeless frocks! And now you too can share in her love of everything glamorous and admire the exquisite fashions in Mel’s new shop, Librarian Chic, at the Lyneham shops.

From dresses to shoes to jewellery, books and more, from the 1940’s to the present day, you’ll find it at Librarian Chic, or visit Mel’s website at http://www.librarianchic.com.au/ to find out what new and exciting treasures there are to be found.

When you find that one irresistible piece, don’t forget to ask Mel what its number is – in true Librarian style, every dress, jacket and skirt has their own dewy decimal number, just like you see on the spine of books in the library - to give it personality, character and spunk!

But be quick! Librarian Chic is only at Lyneham shops for a little while longer. And don’t forget to stop by Material Pleasures at the Old Bus Depot Markets on Sundays to have a chat with our fabulous Mel.

Congratulations Mel, well done!
