I have some more photos to share of last Saturday’s trip to the Surry Hills Market. You can see part 1 here.
I love the unexpected discoveries of flea markets, rummaging through junk to find your treasures – the only thing you need is a few dollars and a little time… I think that it’s these little finds collected over the years, that adds substance to a home.
I really do love a good flea market and the Surry Hills Market is one of my favourite little haunts and was once a monthly ritual for me. I’d walk there from our terrace house via Bourke Street Bakery for a take away coffee and pan au chocolat and spend my Saturday morning wandering around, soaking up the atmosphere, finding treasures and of course, people watching. It felt great to be back there this weekend.
Here is another idea for you today. While writing the story on Flotsam & Jetsam, I noticed these gorgeous displays of old jars filled with vintage pencils and faucet handles. It looks so graphic don’t you think?
I’m falling for the copper and brass trend. What about you? I have to say that I was a little hesitant at first but it was the stunning Mr Cooper pendants from Australian design company Coco Flip, that caught my attention a couple of months ago. I immediately pinned it. I love the styling for this photo too, don’t you?
I’m feeling all refreshed after a four-day getaway with my sister and her family. We stayed in the hills of Leigh, overlooking rolling pastures and the Goat Island marine reserve. The area is absolutely breathtaking and while I was so tempted to put my feet up and soak up the views from the weekender we rented, or “Bach”, as it’s called here in New Zealand, there were too many things to do and see around the area.
