There is nothing better than getting a bargin, or something antique that you absolutly love and was so worth every cent. One man's trash is another man's treasure. It is so true, although it may be second hand it is kind of exciting for me. I don't mind that it was once own or worn by someone else.
Handmade items, patch work quilts, old world an unique jewelery, woven an pretty scarfs, vintage an hippy style clothing and bags, beautiful antique paintings, Paris style items.. it's amazing! In fact, I really could imagine myself growing up in that era where love was true and family and marriage was expected.
We visited the Olive Tree Markets on Saturday, now if you visit Newcastle "this is a must". They are usually on the first Saturday of over month at the Junction Public School. They have very unique collectibles, freshly grown flowers and amazing food/ coffee to die for!
Me and my beautiful mother went antique shopping in at Hamilton. You always have too look hard before the good ones come along, we went to about 5 different stores, the first two were a big let down. Before we gave up there was a dutch antique store hiding away, which had old style furniture too. We loved it and they weren't too badly priced either. Cheap antiques, what a bargain. I can't wait to decorate my house when I move out, I can already imagine what it would be like.

I love op shopping but I haven't been getting out to op shops as much lately as I'd like!
ReplyDeleteI'm still kicking myself for not getting to the Olive Tree markets. :(
