Expectations can either be met, missed or exceeded - the Brunswick Flea certainly exceeded mine!…read more I FINALLY made it there on the weekend, after wanting to go for over 6 months but always having clashes, and I LOVED it! It's in a great location just opposite the baths and it has something for everyone - that perfect mix of stalls covering hand crafted items, vintage and retro, trash/treasure, food (taco and other food trucks) and coffee. Apparently I was there on a not particularly busy day with less stalls then usual and a smaller crowd given the many events that were running that day, but there was still enough there to entertain me for a couple of hours and decrease the weight of my wallet! Take a carry bag as not all the stall holders have bags and take smaller notes and change to make paying up your bargains easier (most clothing items raged from $1 to $10).

Earlier this year I did something I am not super proud of... I moved back in with my parents. I…read moreneeded to move out of my current house and was struggling to find a new place of my own. So there I was, living/working/breathing Geelong. That's when I discovered 123 Antiques. When I finally got that fated call from the real estate agent, I immediately went here in an effort to stock my cool new house with cool, old furniture. 123 has incredible vintage furniture from the 60s, 70s right up until the 00s - think bright green vinyl sofas, sturdy metal trunks and a HEAP of wooden bar carts that will make you want to host a Mad Men-style party every weekend. But it's not just furniture, you'll also find jewellery, prints and artwork (I've got my eye on a couple of J.H. Lynch prints, keep your paws off 'em) and simply gorgeous glassware. Despite having a completely stocked house, I find myself venturing to 123 Antiques anytime I am in the area, just to see what's new.

Inside the iconic Evelyn Hotel, so it's sheltered from inclement weather, the Love, Evelyn Markets…read morehas been quietly humming along for about two years now. There's vintage and secondhand clothing, books, hand-made accessories and jewellery, assorted vintage wares, the occasional tarot card reading and the bar is open with various drink specials (I believe it's $8 Bloody Mary's for the time being). On the first and third Saturday of each month, except for the silly season, where there are extra dates. It's best to check the Facebook page for the full list. Pets are more than welcome too, which is great for those taking their pooches for a Saturday stroll down Brunswick Street!

The Love, Evelyn Market has potential. Though it's been running for a couple years, it's still…read morequite small and a quick browse only takes a few minutes. There's a mixture of vintage clothing, handmade jewelry and books. Each time I've visited, the book stall towards the back has been the highlight, as there are some unusual titles (I found a biography of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's dog written by Virginia Woolf that I didn't even know existed, and I thought I was a Virginia Woolf aficionado). I've also seen some interesting jewelry, though nothing that isn't available at other markets. Most of the stall holders are very friendly and happy to have a chat. The Love, Evelyn Market is worth visiting if you're in Fitzroy on a Saturday arvo.

You get to walk in and take as many pics as you'd like. Then, you go down stairs into the basement. And then, on the way back you go up to the rooftop. The rooftop has great views of the city and surrounding areas. I took a ton of pics up there and we had a great time. After that, you'll walk back down to the 2nd floor and take more pics inside. I can't believe how much original stuff is still here. Great way to spend an hour.
