This shop has all the looks of a bomb having gone off inside it, a jewelry bomb. Every nook and…read morecranny is draped in something sparkly and beautiful making it impossible for anyone with any magpie tendencies to pass by the shop without a quick look-in. Although this is not the only place that Tresors exhibits, they usually have a stall at the Antiques Fair, it is soon to close so it's important to remember this shop is still around. The shop assistant told me that the shop had always stocked the "more fun" things anyway. Their pieces are a variety of costume, antique and estate collection jewelry which hasn't been tampered with, so you'll find the prices and styles range wildly. Most pieces are one-offs. I could barely tear myself away, though I've definitely made note of this one for any friends' up and coming Birthdays (or presents to myself). Without a doubt there'll be something for everyone in there, and (for the blokes) the shop assistants are just gorgeous!

After years of longingly looking into the front window, today I made my first purchase from…read moreTresors, and I'm so sorry I waited this long to step inside. But antique/ old wares stores can be somewhat intimidating, with "invite only" style security, or posh/ rude staff. I've often found myself "looking shyly", too self conscious to ask questions, and hurridly scurrying out the door. My experience today at Tresors was anything but. On taking a gulp and stepping inside, I was greeted warmly by staff, who let me look unattended for as long as I needed until I approached them for assistance. The aim today was to find the perfect 30th gift for a dear friend, something beautiful, and one of a kind. To be honest, I'd say I found that "special something" 100 times over, such was the volume and collection of antique, vintage, estate, costume jewellery and ornaments packed into this modest store. I must've spent over an hour rifiling through what felt like grandma's treasure box, scouring their many drawers of beads and semi precious stone necklaces in every possible colour of the rainbow, aurora borealis, lapis lazuli, german art deco beads, citrine and 60's vintage mod beads. Each beautiful piece had a story, and nothing was too much trouble for the staff at Tresors who respectfully and patiently answered all my questions and made thoughtful suggestions, I even learned a thing or two and had a laugh in the process =) I finally decided on a beautiful string of pastel agate beads, (pictured). THE place to come for necklaces, beads, rings, brooches, bangles, bracelets and trinkets, not simply an excellent vintage store, but a collection lovingly curated by Jenny and her lovely and knowledgeable staff who know each piece personally. I simply can't recommend this store enough, do pay them a visit!

It's a pretty simple store with not a lot of space, but they have jam-packed the space they do have with furniture. And its not the cheap stuff either. If you're wanting to assemble your own furniture, and maybe dont care if it breaks down after a year, try ikea. But if not, and if you live nearby and are scanning the area for that specific piece of furniture, come on in and take a look at whats around at Chris's. You'll probably know within the first few minutes if the place has what you need or not, so stop by. But maybe don't go out of your way to get here.

But when you completely fill them like I do, they tend to buckle and wear out quite easily. So I have begun to invest in proper, quality wood bookscases. Chris's timber furniture offers well sized and good quality stained bookcases and the prices are reasonable, I can pack them full of books and DVDs and they won't buckle. They also sell custom made furniture which would be more expensive and they have really good bedroom storage also reasonably priced, I might go back and get one of those cane basket storage thingies, oh didn't I mention I buy too many clothes too.

If you live in the Southern Highlands, this is the nearest place with large theaters for those big, first run films (think Avatar). It is also right next to a major train station that will get you directly to the Sydney Airport in about 45 minutes. Lots of parking, food options, and all the major chains can be found here. You might not realize that having access to these types of places is a big deal unless you move far away to a regional area, and then you will understand the huge value of having all of this under one roof.

Then again, that is probably expected considering that this happens to be located in one of Sydney's major suburban centres. Yeah, it wasn't too bad, but I certainly wouldn't be considering it to be one of the greatest.

And inside? It's big, and shiny, with all the brands you know and love and want in a shopping centre, and a bunch of pretty new foreign exchange students - what up Zara, Uniqlo, H&M, how YOU doin?
