To be honest, I've never thrifted in Melbourne before, and this time round when I was there, my friend, Fifi brought me to Camberwell Market. This flea market only opens on Sunday and I believe it starts at 10.30 or 11am all the way up to 1.00pm.
I cannot believe my eyes on what I found. It was like a treasure trove, waiting for somebody discover and take it back with them. While walking around, I found some really chic platters, hand blown ice cream glasses, some Wedgewood and Royal Doulton housewares, trendy accessories, jewelries, clothes and errr shoes too. I couldn't believe my eyes. If I was living permanently in Melbourne, I assure you a couple of the items would have followed me home. However, I didn't fail badly either. I found myself 2 really cool cake stands, a port bottle with 3 glasses for my mom, an Oroton Silk scarf, Portmans knitted cardi, a blouse and a skirt. What else? Hmmmph??
Like they say, "another men's garbage, is another men's gold"!

You're not alone. Both thrifting and checking out flea markets are one of my husbands and my favorite ways to spend a weekend. Lucky for us, they just opened up a really great flea in our neighborhood in Brooklyn that's open every Sunday. It's my favorite way to spend an afternoon!
ReplyDeleteLove your photos. Good luck with your 30 for 30.
