SURRY HILLS MARKETS
(

;
Shannon Reserve, Crown St; 7am-4pm 1st Sat of the month; Central)
There's a
chipper community vibe at this monthly market, with mainly locals renting stalls to sell/re-
cycle their old stuff: clothes, CDs, books and sundry junk. Bargains aplenty; if only it were
more frequent!
MARKET
SYDNEY ANTIQUE CENTRE
tique centre has 50-plus dealers specialising in porcelain, silver, glass, collectables and fur-
niture. Items range from sports memorabilia to grand-father clocks and art deco jewellery.
Pick up a 19th-century alabaster mannequin and drag it around the cafe and bookshop.
ANTIQUES
HOLY KITSCH!
Day of the Dead and Mexican wrestling paraphenalia can fill, come here. There's another
branch in Newtown.
GIFTS
WHEELS & DOLLBABY
noon-5pm Sun; Museum)
'Clothes to Snare a Millionaire' is the name of the game here, and
what a wicked, wicked game it is: lace, leather and leopard print; studs, suspenders and sat-
in. Tight wrapped and trussed up; it won't just be the millionaires who'll be looking your
way. Male rockers will have to settle for T-shirts.
CLOTHING
GRANDMA TAKES A TRIP
CLOTHING, ACCESSORIES
don't know where Granny's gone, but she sure left a crazy wardrobe behind. And so did
Grandpa. Sourced mostly in the UK and overseas, this is mint-condition vintage, plus retro
swimwear and the odd flouncy negligee.
