Another most amazing place we discovered while in Melbourne was the
This was on our list of places to check out while looking for some vintage bargains!!!!!
Oh My Gosh...what a mind blowing place for anyone looking for anything !
This place has over 80 different dealers showcasing their collections....some were deceased estates, some just selling off their personal collections.
Every item was individually priced and you made your choice then it all went through the one check out counter at the front.
we were told there was an 18 month waiting list for a month lease on the free standing cabinets alone.......
I have never seen such a mine field of goods...you name it and you would have found it...
My whole childhood and growing up years were found in that building...from toys , to things I ate off, to things I used at school.
Photos don't do justice to this place ..all I can say is you have to see it to believe it.
This is what I really wanted to leave with in my bag.......
but for $950 I had to rethink.
It was a fantastic strapless lined dress made from doilies.
This is what I did purchase though......
I remember my nan giving me one of these when I was a tween......don't know what ever happened to it...
Now I have my very own again.
I remember having one of those to play with that my gran gave me too, it had a little hairbrush and soap dish and other such things too. What a fantastic place to spend a few hours, or a whole day in! I do love those old telephone, I can remember playing with one of those in my dad's workshop when I was little too.
