Nothing ventured, nothing gained

The quest to find that unique, inspiring object you never knew you needed or wanted won’t be found sitting at home. So, I’ve compiled a market hit list for this weekend.

Saturday –

1) Vanity Fair Vintage Market - http://www.vanityfairmarkets.com/index.htmlOnce a month, showcasing an array of vintage fashion and finds in the Leichhardt Town Hall 10am – 4pm. $4 Admission.
2) Glebe Markets http://www.glebemarkets.com.au/ Weekly market and always an entertaining adventure. I never come away empty handed. 10am – 4pm

Sunday –

1) Kirribilli Markets (Art & Design/Vintage quarter) http://www.kirribillimarkets.com/ Starts at 9am but worth getting there at 8ish to ensure you don’t miss out.
2) Bondi Markets http://www.bondimarkets.com.au/ Sometimes the garage sales on the street outside the market are better than the stalls inside. 10am – 4pm
3) Organic Food Market http://www.organicfoodmarkets.com.au/Organic-Food-Markets.aspx I feel healthier just walking through these markets at Frenchs Forest!!

$5 Table

Oh how a Monday comes too soon after a lovely weekend...

I'm still reeling from my beautiful finds at Bondi Market – my gorgeous sister-in-law (S-I-L) had a stall so we decided to trek over the bridge. Thanks mostly to my S-I-L by the end of the day I had in my possession a classic long black Seduce jacket (perfect for chilli days at work), a golden bolero jacket and I placed an order for an arabesque ring from self confessed hippie jewellery designer, Tanya.

Tanya’s brand “Zefyr” is described as “eco glam jewellery”. Using rejuvenated brass and vintage stones Tanya is creating a broad range of unique pieces. The ring I ordered was born out of a rummage through trinkets at a Parisian market. Originally a piece of plastic Tanya has brought it to life by using her rejuvenated brass to cast the unique design into a ring, pendant and earrings. www.zefyrjewels.com.au. Tanya’s jewellery stall is a must visit at Bondi Markets.

Bondi Markets is on every Sunday 10am – 4pm. Located at Bondi Beach Public School, cnr Campbell parade and Warners Ave, Bondi.

NB: Every Friday I will feature the key Sydney markets for the weekend.
