Thrifty Saturday at a Pop Up Market

Saturday afternoon found me on a hideous rail bus (silly track work cancelled my train) travelling to meet Simona at Newtown.  We were going to go clothes shopping but got way laid by a pop up market by the train station. 

It was one of those awesome scrappy little markets with random stuff everywhere.  I totally loved it.  I accidently spent $50.  Opps.

Finds included:


Stupendously cool leather bag - real vintage treasure of happiness and delight.

Set of three Alfred Meakin dessert bowls.  All worn and used and just how I like them.

Shabby but beautiful cake slice.  With a mother of pearl handle.


Insanely beautiful handbag for Simona.  Just look at those tarnished old buckles.


Crazy cute egg hen.  Holds about three eggs at a pinch, but you can't fault it for cuteness value.



Tiny and amazingly wonderful vintage tea pot for one.  Cos only one of us drinks tea.

One of my favorite thrifting days ever.   Shall we go when you visit Deb Robertson?

your blogs are making me itchy to come over for a shopping holiday...small issue of not having any money to spend :)

Ah yes, the age old problem. But (a) you are always welcome of course and (b) you don't need hardly any to spend at thrift shops! and (c) CHCH does have some really great ones....
