Rummaging Through The Fitzroy Market

July 21, 2014

I think it's safe to say that Melbourne loves markets. But they can't be just any old market, they have to have a bit of a hipster edge to them. The Fitzroy Market is no different. I s'pose being in Fitzroy you wouldn't expect anything less. If you're unfamiliar with the area, Fitzroy is kind of like the Camden of Melbourne, minus the canal. I always find that the markets on the Fitzroy side of Melbourne are a bit more affordable than the one's on the other side of the river.

Camberwell Market

April 26, 2013

I've been putting off this post for almost a week now and I haven't really got a good reason for doing so. I think it's just because I don't have much to say about it. I mean it's a market, we've all been to markets, we all understand the general gist of it. This particular market is in the Melbourne suburb of Camberwell, hence the name, and is more of a flee market than some of the design markets I've previously been to. So yeah, just sit back, relax and enjoy the pretty pictures.

Road Trip to Rosebud: Part 1

January 12, 2013

When I was younger, my dad and I used to take to the road and explore Australia, but we hadn't been adventuring for a while. We decided it might be fun to go on a day trip down the Mornington Peninsula to Rosebud, because of the abundance on thrift shops there. When we got down there we discovered the weekly Saturday market and thought we couldn't come all this way without having a peak. 

Vintage Clearance Sale

June 16, 2012

In our search for cheap clothing we managed to come across this amazing place in Melbourne called the Abbotford Convent. It felt like we were walking through the grounds of a classy English property with beautiful gardens and architecture. We were there to go to The Vintage Clearance Centre super sale. I unfortunately didn't have any money because I'm a poor unemployed student but my friends did and together bought almost $100 worth of stuff.

Whose Wardrobe Beaumaris

June 3, 2012

I'm always looking for relatively lazy ways to sell my unwanted clothing so when I heard about Whose Wardrobe Preloved Fashion Market in Beaumaris I thought it would be worth checking out. As far as I know, this is the first time they've held it so I wasn't sure what to expect. We ended up finding some really pretty items for great prices and definitely want to get a stall for next time!
