Saltspring Island visit, finally

 I've been aware of the two non-profit thrift shops located in Ganges, Saltspring island for a few years now.  Finally got over to visit them this week.

The first is the Transitions shop located in the centre of Ganges, adjacent to the Salt Spring Coffee shop in the back.

The shop has a boutique feel to it.

The other and older shop is the Lady Minto Hospital Auxiliary.  It is the bigger shop and offers a larger variety of items.
