EASTER MARKET THRIFT SCORES
April 27, 2011WHAT was with the rain? I had markets bookmarked, cash in my wallet to buy up big at the cake stalls and book sales, and then the heaven's opened and plodding out to the nether reaches of the coast seemed a bad idea.
I did plough on only to be elbowed away from tables at what was my first visit to a well-regarded annual book fair. Miffed. I'd say so. I did feel a good deal better when I finally rolled in to my favourite seasonal book sale closer to home at Macmasters Beach. It's fabulous. You really should go.
Other weekend market scores were a bamboo-look ceramic jug and pair of screw-back earrings, in bronze and perfect for the '70s vibe looks I am seeing everywhere. I blame Paper Giants: The birth of Cleo and new series screening on ABC2, Swingtown. Haven't seen the latter? Do. It's like Melrose Place meets Mad Men for the 1970s.
