Do a good thing for charity – go shopping @ Myrorna

Many second hand stores that you will find in Sweden are charity shops & here at Myrorna, all the proceeds from this chain of stores goes to the Salvation army. They have many second hand stores in Stockholm & each one is different so it is worth visiting a few. Their range of second hand goods in most stores extends from kitchenware to clothes, books (not just in Swedish) to textiles & furniture to household furnishings (homewares). Myrorna is also an excellent place to buy cheap fabric for craft projects (from their textiles section on the bottom floor) as I have found new fabric to be very expensive here in Sweden. It doesn’t even need to be specifically new fabric – for example, I bought two old table runners and from that I have made 6 table napkins & plan to make 2 cushions as well (photos to follow shortly).

While they all tend to have clothes & some homewares, below I have listed some of the Myrorna stores which have larger sections of some items:

Götgatan, Södermalm – This store is spread across two floors and has a good selection of textile, books, homewares & a limited furniture selection.
The Vasastan, Norrtullsgatan store has an interesting collection of paintings as well as a large children’s clothes, books & toys section.
The store on Kungsholmen, Fleminggatan has the largest textile section I have seen, books, DVDs and even electrical appliances. The clothing section is vast & I would recommend a visit to this store.
Sollentuna, Stinsen – Being less centrally located, this store has more of a community feel & contains furniture, many homewares & has a good clothing section.
If you are looking for furniture, try the Ropsten store where they have a good selection of larger furniture items.
