Had a great day of thrifting over the weekend with fellow Blogger
and new friend Pippa of 'Ouchflower'!
Turns out we both shopped at the our local retro/vintage store
aka The Man regularly, but had never met or crossed paths.
Then Michael (The Man) put us onto each others blogs, and I
became a regular visitor to OuchFlower.

And after bumping into eachother one day at The Man,
Pippa and I decided to book a date and head out for some thrifting together!
Our chosen stop on our first trip was the
Waverley Antique Bazaar
11a Aristoc Road, Glen Waverley
Open 7 days a week 10am - 5pm.

The Bazaar is located in a huge warehouse full of fantastic retro and
vintage goods - for the most part priced really, really well.
The Bazaar opened in October 2011 and now houses over 130 stalls.

It was a blistering hot day but we put in a good 2 hours
of seeking out treasures in the warehouse.
True to form, I purchased a few floral themed pieces.
So today I am linking in with Pippa from Ouchflower.
Please follow the link & pop over to see the wares she picked up on our thrifting expedition, and check out the rest of her lovely blog while you are there!

Here are a few pics of my purchases from the trip...
Luckily there were 2 of these gorgeous plates, so we bought one each.
Floral mugs which I am now planning to hang on hooks from a
shelf above the kettle.
Floral tin and wall hanging just coz.
Marquise shaped Tigers Eye ring. My favourite purchase of the day.
At least, I think it's Tigers Eye. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
(Are you feeling the garden stone? I couldn't get the ring to sit
well on the bench so I needed a prop.)
And this awesome chemistry flask/come vase was a gift to me from Pippa!
Nabbed some greenery from the garden for this shot.
Hope I did it justice Pippa : )
Highly recommend a trip to the Waverley Antique Bazaar if you are in Melbourne. And I also recommend a date with Pippa.
She bought me lunch - hoorah!!
Thanks for a great day Pippa. Next lunch is on me : )
