Chapel Street

Further to yesterday... I also took a stroll down Chapel Street, it is still one of my favorite places to go. The reason was to visit the Chapel St. Bazaar and the Remnant Warehouse. I haven't been to the Bazaar for a very long time, but I am totally addicted to going to the Remnant Warehouse, which, incidently, is closing down. It will not be closing for about a year I believe, but where will I find something to replace it?! They stock designer remnants, so roles of fabric that Melbourne designers have used. I really don't go there for that reason though... I'd rather not use something that has some other designers print all over it. I just go there for... you guessed it, the bargains. I bought a beautiful piece of lace which I will make a top from, but only some idea now of how it will look at this stage. Keep an eye on 5trillion to see the outcome.
At the Bazaar I saw some fantastic vintage pieces of clothing, I do love vintage clothes, I have a little collection going which I will post pics of in the future. Also they had a few good vintage patterns, I also have a collection of these. I have managed to pick mine up for about 20c each, these were 5-6 dollars. Some I had picked up at the op-shop next door many years ago, others I have bought from country op-shops more recently. I will post some pics of these in the future also.
I have added a pic of Melbourne from the Westgate bridge, I just love that view and want to photograph it every time I go over. I used to live east of Melbourne and you don't get a view of the city as you drive in from there, it just kind of creeps up on you.
