Cowley Road Carnival 2008 - This Weekend - 6th July

It's Carnival weekend. Are you prepared? If not, don't panic because you can stock up on everything you need to make marvellous masks at Orinoco on Saturday. You can also join in with our FREE mask-making session between 2pm and 4pm.

We have our own marquee, covered stall and activity area this year. We'll be there throughout the Carnival making masks and having fun. Come and find us in Circus Street (St. Clements end of the Cowley Road) [map] [Mask Pictures in the Gallery]

New Stock

Lots of cardboard barrels: great for storage, stools, drumming or as recycling bins for home and office. They're clean and ready to use or why not decorate with a bit of decoupage first.

It's been a busy week at the store with the arrival of a huge delivery of fashion accessories and fun household items. We've got: scarves, wraps, handbags, shopping bags, sun hats, jewellery, cuddly picture frames, stone picture frames, incense gift boxes, candle holders... the list goes on. We've made a start at sorting through it all and we're going to have one of our special sales on Saturday the 19th of July. Until then, we're doing our best to get a range out in store. So some of it will be on sale on Saturday and at the Carnival on Sunday.

Big thanks to Jon, Glenys, Kate, Vincenzo, Nigel and Nigel's 'Crew' for getting all the boxes packed away.

 

It's a month of SWAP SHOPs

The next Orinoco Swap Shop will be on Saturday July 12th from 11am to 4pm. On the following Saturday, the 19th of July, there will be a Swap Shop at the Gladstone Road Community Centre. Not wishing to be left out of this Swaptastic month, the Barracks Lane Community Garden are holding a Swap on the 26th July. I think this is becoming a bit of a phenomenon!

Come along and dump stuff you no longer want or take away stuff you fancy. Remember, you can take stuff without leaving stuff, you don't have to haggle and it's all free. [more info] [download flier]
