My HUGE weekend in lovely Fremantle...

  Oh my, what a weekend! I am truly knackered as I finally take 5 to recap a very successful  and inspiring trip to the seaside town of Fremantle.

Zavian and I made the trip to spend the weekend with Levi while he is staying in town to complete some training for his new job. Along the way I found some of the best op-shopping EVER! and I met a few ladies who are living the dream with there very own successful vintage/handmade dress shops!! Woop whoop - it was great to see and I would love to share, so here goes it...








First up there was Broken Doll Vintage, located in the Atwell arcade - this sassy seamstress has her sewing machine in store at the ready to tailor any of her own designs or vintage garments especially to fit you while you wait! Its a great shop crammed full of precious knick knacks and eye candy galore.

Amongst the Saturday town square markets was a lovely young miss with her spunky stall, The Ginger Fox . She imports all of her vintage from secret suppliers in Japan and the USA. Her prices are great, I picked up the bestest little shirt dress, with awesome print and retro buttons. This business savvy miss does have her own website and the best part is she only charges $2 a piece for postage AND she lets you change your mind that 70's dress doesn't turn out to be what you thought.

And finally.... Granny squares!! I know I bang on about it a bit but you know I have wanted one of these for ages. When I saw it I knew that it was THE ONE!




I bought this from a gorgeous shop in the Freo Markets called Anjel Ms - The lovely lady who runs the show, Gaelle Beech, has a fair trade arrangement with a family in Bali who hand crochets these blankets. They are probably the nicest I have ever seen. You can have them custom made if you contact her on anjelms@anjelms.com

I also found an abundance of new fabrics - some are so beautiful I may not be able to part with them! I have some serious fabric stack photos to take - coming soon, promise!

Gotta go to bed xoxoxox
