Flea at Loewen Road and Scape

Thank you for taking time out to drop by my little flea shop - your presence was so uplifting! Also, surprisingly flattered by a video crew who interviewed us and one prestigious shopping establishment for your invitation to set up stall at your shopping centre.  

Our quaint little stall of vintage finds amidst all the food and wine - a pleasant surprise to the laid back regular crowd



Gluten free muffins and accessories - an odd but fun combo - know any gluten intolerant folks? My in law is one and she is on the cause of discovering and creating affordable and palatable goodies for similarly impoverished friends.

Its pretty interesting to people watch at Scape - the cash gets recycled within the confines of the event space i.e. girls set up shop to sell their used clothes and use the money earned to buy other girls' used clothes. And why not? In this span of teenhood where the amount of cash is still dependent on how you behave (aka parents), this is a great way of staying on trend without bursting the pocket. Wished such flea marts existed a decade back... And sociologists should study this economic phenomenon of the 21st century - its a culture that should be named..

when auntie susan got her first paycheck

It was Chinese New Year and I was with my 4th auntie at the dining table plowing through old photos. I was afraid at first that she might be reminded of my dear cousin who was killed in an accident many years back. Yet as she turned page after page, her eyes shone as she told me stories of how she was the fashionista of the house - how she taught my mother how to sew and dress, how she was a seamstress and designed the latest fashion of those early years... her first bag bought with her own money will probably have looked like this.

Vintage inspired carrier (medium, roomy and soft faux leather) - $29.90 (comes with detachable sling, mustard, dusty pink and light grey)

                                     

granny goes on her first date

I was at Leslie's grandparents' place one Saturday evening and feeling how blessed it must be for them to be together til this ripe old age. What would it have been like for them on their first date? granny then, young and dainty, waiting outside the Great World cinema, perhaps, heart fluttering, to see the then dashing grandpa... would they have thought of themselves in their eighties, surrounded by children and grandchildren? or watching the latest Blu-ray DVD that their grandson has brought over?  

$24.90 Vintage inspired shoulder adjustable sling bag (small - good for handphone, lippie and small wallet)
23 by 14 cm, opens into 2 compartments
Comes in lilac grey, pink and black

Welcome!

Thanks for dropping by and suppporting my little indulgences.

Pansies are for thoughtfulness and rosemary is for remembrance. Each of these items will bring a little reminiscence of our childhood days and old world charm to you. So take a step back and hear the scratchy record play that good old comforting tune...
