Waverley Antique Bazaar

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 : )
