Quality Fabrics, probably the best in Melbourne, but if you're a student this might not be the…read moreplace for you. Tessuti has a reputation for importing the best of the best. Importing materials from fashion capitals like Italy, Japan and France just to name a few. As a design student myself, I'm always looking for a bargain, i must stress to you that this is not the place to look. The fabrics here are incredible to say the least. You will encounter materials used by the like of Armani and Chanel, but be prepared to pay in the hundreds per square meter. I come here quite often just to have a look at the fabrics and dream of maybe one day using them in creations of my own. In saying this though you can find some materials on sale that wont break the piggy bank. If you do have enough change lying around for fabrics of this calibre, I highly recommend Tessuti. Oh and just a heads up, if you need help you will have to ask. Ive never been offered assistance from staff.

The Little Shop of Miniatures on Olinda-Monbulk road is absolutely adorable. It is every little…read moregirls dream with magnificent dollhouses and ranges of furniture to decorate them with. It even had a section with dolls to live in the dollhouses - this place has everything! From dollhouses complete with staircases and rooftop gardens to bare walled houses that need painting and decorating by their new owner, the shop has an option for everyone. The dollhouses can be bought assembled or in a kit to be built at home. They cost around $400, which is not much when you see how much effort has gone into them. The tiny furniture was just divine. The range incorporated all sorts of styles to suit any décor. Chairs start at around $8 a piece and prices move upwards from there. Room kits are available for around $60, which give you all the pieces of furniture you need for a bathroom, bedroom, living room... My favourite item was a little ceramic cups and saucers set complete with a teapot. It was only $12 - a real bargain. The service in here was fabulous and the owner was quite happy to have a chat. She was still setting up the store when I went there and I was impressed that she made time for me when she was quite obviously very busy unpacking stock and putting it on display. I wish this store had been around when I was little and had a dollhouse. It was so remarkable to see such detailed little items and I am very jealous of the little girls who will get to enjoy this furniture in their playtime. Make sure you check it out.

Located across the street from Bunnings and next door to Spotlight, we've gone into this Good Guys…read morefor a few major purchases, price comparison and looking at products in person. Their store is one of the largest ones I've seen with a decent variety of products. What I like most is they will price match, they leave you to browse on your own, but there is always someone nearby when you do need help and they're pretty friendly. If you pay cash or EFTPOS, they'll give you an even further discount. Always a plus! The only downside are their trading hours. They're only open until 5:30 PM Mon-Thurs and 5 PM on weekends, so we have to wait until the weekend or Friday when they're open until 9 PM. Would recommend.
