I have been reluctant to post about this, because selfishly it’s nice to think I have this place all to myself.
I don’t of course, hundreds of people go here each weekend, but I suppose as it is more trash than treasure, and nowhere near as popular as other flea/vintage/second hand markets in Melbourne, it was my little gem.
Anyhow, I visited Coburg Trash and Treasure today that’s held every Sunday at one of the last remaining drive in’s, in Victoria(you can spot one of the screens in the background of the pictures). This in my opinion makes it all the more special.
I picked up a few curious objects, but the main treasure is this 1950’s petticoat. The woman that sold it to me told me it belonged to her mother and she has had it since she was a girl. We had a great chat about 1950’s fashion and she seemed sad in a way to let it go, but relieved that it was obviously going to a loving home. Loving, adoring, obsessive- I’m thrilled!
