Roll up to the mystery tour...

Hello and welcome to my market stall!  A little while ago, I  had a market stall, the size of a little car park. My mum and I woke up very early, made the drive to stall 248 and unloaded all my items.    I love secondhand shopping but I have run out of storage space! So from time to time, I rent a market stall space and sell things that I'm willing to let go. I sold vintage coats, clothes, shoes, boots, bags, vinyl records, books and costume jewellery! We were so busy but my mum managed to take all of these pictures in this post. Thanks mum for helping me! I love selling things and I enjoyed chatting to ladies who bought a bunch of my clothes and boots to resell in their own stalls. I love this little flower stall. How pretty are the daffodils! Speaking of daffodils, look at the daffodils I grew myself! I'm very proud of them and I so admire looking at them in my vase. I spent the rest of the weekend with my boyfriend and also with my family commemorating what would have been m

 At times, social media can be wonderful! My mum and I saw a Cherry Hill Orchards reel and admired the beautiful blossoms so we decided to visit and make a day out of it.  After a long drive to Wandin, we were greeted with the pretty sight of rows and rows of cherry trees filled with crisp, white blossoms. In the store, there were many cute, cherry themed products being sold including cherry jam, cherry chutney, cherry liquor, cherry sauces, cherry hats and stationary.  I thought these bee candles were cute. We enjoyed a cherry ripe ice-cream. It was so delicious. The cherry on top was a nice touch. I wore my Kmart pink/purple gingham dress with a rose quartz necklace, my vintage, tooled leather bag and my trusty brown, leather boots. Walking through the rows of cherry blossoms, we spotted an old, depilated cottage that my mum would've loved to renovate, some bee hives and a lovely big lake. We ended the day with a lovely picnic. I particularly loved the brie, crackers, prosciutto
