I went down to Camberwell Market this morning. I’ve not been for years and it has grown since I was there last. There was probably 50% quality items there and the other 50% is the same overpriced rubbish you can get anywhere. As I’m moving house (urghh…) in a few weeks I refrained from picking anything up (except a minature skateboard for $5, I’m still not sure why), but took photos of some stuff I liked. I must say though, I do prefer op-shops, the hunt is more authentic and the prices invariably better – the guy initially tried to charge me $15 for the mini skateboard! I laughed at him. Goose.
You’ll have to excuse my shadowy photos, I’m always too shy to ask people if I can take photos, so I have to pretend I’m texting while I take the photo, which I’m sure makes me appear twice as dodgy… but until I conquer my shyness, you’ll just have to deal with the inferior quality of my images. Sorry.
Jesus, Mary and a telephone. Glorious morning autumn sun. Beads beads beads! Old dolls and magazines. Swatch watches! There’s even a pop swatch there (the big pink one) and my cousin Tanya actually owned one identical to the green one beside it… Parker Lewis anyone? Creepy Dolls – yep, I have a weird thing for creepy dolls, note the small one on the very right. Home made Bambi. Striped tops are in! Gorgeous Knits that remind me of Nanna. Swap cards, the one things I wish I still had from when I was a kid, but I notice you can get them here.
