Flea Market Finds


I've a had such fantastic week of fabulous finds this week. 
The suitcase pictured above was give to me on Mothers Day upon Adam's return from the Sunday Market. It also came with friends, a beautiful red one and a very old brown number.  The beautiful wool coat I got this morning from the Daylesford Market. I've been searching for so long for a plaid wool coat such as this, but they are always too big and heavy. This one is perfecto so I was very happy!


But not as happy as Adam was when he purchased this awesome 1930's light box for an absolute steal! It was difficult to photograph, but it's for eye testing and is set in the most beautiful dark wood box. It has an amazing adjustable aperture on the bottom right, with a light behind it. We are going to build it into our house plans somehow! 


During the week we went on a driving adventure and hit some great country oppies. We bought way too much to photograph, but I got this sweet shelf and all it's lovely contents. A selection of tins for the wedding, two lovely jugs and some french jars.

I am obsessed with this duck egg blue colour , especially when it's combined with red and I adore the circus vibe of this tin.


Duck egg blue again! I love the shape of the Bessemer jug and the pattern on the little Japanese jug is so lovely. At $1 and $1.50, who could say no?


Some great vintage kids books, which will be used for cards and tags and bunting.

 

My personal favourite is 'Honey without money' which has the most adorable illustrations. So sweet.


And this set of vintage memory cards, which I almost passed up, but I'm SO glad I didn't! I have all sorts of ideas of these little guys.

I also got an unused Polaroid camera, with a flash and film for just $15-! I'm so thrilled with this because I really want to be able to take some Polaroids at the wedding. All in all it's been a fantastic week of thrifting!! I hope yours was too ;)

Could this be my best vintage find ever?


I am so in love with this gorgeous dress! I found it at the Daylesford Bazaar and it think it could possibly be the best vintage thing I've ever uncovered- simply because it's so perfect in every way. For a start, its Italian. Then it's fully lined wool. The colour is just perfect.

It has the most adorable details; the ric rac, the fabric covered buttons, the pleats...


and best of all, the peter pan collar. I love the peter pan collar! I wish all of my frocks had a peter pan collar. Seriously. Every single one!
Unfortunately this one is a size 7, so it won't fit me but I have 6 years of adoring its beautiful simplicity until miss Charlie can wear it.

Round She Goes- Spring!


This fantastic market is on again. In the glamorous Camberwell Centre for the final time, with over 80 stalls of gorgeous pre-loved designer and vintage clothing and accessories. It's an absolute wonderland in there! There are some amazing bargains to be had too. Last time I got a leather jacket by Arabella Ramsay, still with the $600- price tag for $80-. My friend Biddy got a gorgeous pair of vitage cowboy boots for $10-! God I love a good bargain, don't you?

And I shall be there (taking a much needed break from moving) with vintage buttons galore for $5- per tube and some fabulous vintage frocks, boots, shoes and accessories. Some come along or pass it on to your friends!
