So yesterday I went to my first vintage sale! It was a bit daunting, just because I wasn't sure what to expect, or how much money I would spend. So my hubby dropped me off, gave me some cash and said he was going to the gym. I walked into Vintage Garage and all the staff were lovely, assuming I wanted to go to the garage sale they pointed me towards the back of the shop where I was greeted with racks upon racks upon baskets chock full of clothes. I didn't know where to begin, so I sort of haphazardly sorted through a rack of dresses, but apparently it was still early enough that they were still putting more on the rack. I decided I might need more cash, even though it was a 'Nothing over $10' sale, you can never be too prepared! Luckily I didn't spend half as much as I thought I would, I actually only picked up two things(amazingly).
A Carla Carini skirt
And a Schneberger Dress
Both are amazingly comfortable pieces, considering I wasn't even sure either would fit!
Afterwards I had a look through the actual shop itself, and found some things to put on my wish list.

Continuing my journey via tram to Brunswick street to find Hunter Gatherer in Fitzroy.
It's quite a small shop but if you look closely you will find some real gems! I snagged these to alumesh pieces for about $7 total.The small one is a key purse, so there are little hooks to hang your keys on, plus a little pocket for, well, whatever you want I guess!The bigger of the two is a wallet, with coin purse attached.
Both of them are in quite good condition, just needing some care and cleaning. Oh and they are also different types of mesh, if you can see in this photo, the wallet has a dimpled mesh.Anyhow I thought I did quite well for myself, seeing I only spent $27. I also treated myself to some San Churro hot chocolate to stave my addiction. Hehe.
I will leave you with that, as I must now tackle my end of the week washing, *le sigh*.
AHHHHHHH IM FIRST IM FIRST! I will keep an eye for these type of things for you.
