Latest finds..from ballarat to melbourne

I thought I would share with you some of my favourite second hand finds from the past month or so. I recently went to Ballarat and found some pretty great things there, and over the past few weeks, have gone to numerous school and church fairs, and opshops and found some pretty things too. Here are my favourites. Perhaps I can encourage you to hit a local fete or opshop and see what you might find!

  1. Why is it that I can never find anything quite as amazing 2nd hand as everyone else does? Perhaps I need to get dug in more? Of course I'm actually trying to NOT buy anything at the moment... as I'm saving to be an expat, but there are some things that I just can't say no to :)
    I hope you have a great week,
