The other day my friend, Kate, and I went to the Fisherman's Wharf Market at Port Adelaide to browse the bric-à-brac and take photos. I had my Canon 550D and new-to-me Lomo Smena 8M (bought from etsy) in tow and took a few snaps I'm quite pleased with. Expect this post to be quite picture heavy! (I'm rather awful at leaving shots out when I like them).
It was a lovely sunny day so I decided to make the most of it and wore this frock that I bought from Exquisite Bones last year. (Photo taken by Kate).
I made Kate pose by the boat.
Inside the markets.
I really loved that dachshund spice rack (I'm not sure what else to call it...) but it was 259 or 359$! Sigh.
Cheesy record covers are my favourite!
So many flowers on that hat!
Me by the 'great wall of denim handbags' as Kate called it.
I find most of the interesting things at these markets are highly overpriced but it's always fun to browse and you can sometimes grab a bargain - I got a vintage bra & a pair of stockings for only 6$ all up! Oh, and, despite the implications of the subject title we did not, in fact, buy a fat pig. Maybe next time...
Sorry for the complete overload of photos in this post but hopefully it was enjoyable to see some of my surroundings as well as outfit shots. Some of these photos can be found on my second Flickr (which I use for things I don't usually put on the blog) and there are a few more shots at my first Flickr account.
Love,

I like browsing the Pt adelaide markets too, but like you said, everything is pretty much out of my price range.
ReplyDeleteThey have a great dolphin cruise on sundays which leaves near the light house, its only $5 for the 2 hour cruise.

Looks like a lot of fun, and so many 'English' things....

Love your outfit! And thank you for clearing up the "fat pig" thing. I *was* wondering! (picturing a piggy cookie jar or something, not you walking home with a pig on a rope leash)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun place! I love browsing around at those things even if I don't intend to buy anything (or much). Great photos!
ReplyDeletewow. that place looks amazing. full of treasures. I loved these photos...and your dress is devine

That dress looks gorgeous on you, I think light blue and dark hair always looks fantastic. The market looks intriguing, think I would of had to of bought that lilac flower hat! x
ReplyDeleteLOVE the Lomo shots they look great!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like an amazing market. I was trying to imagine what treasures could be found there - fantastic! The daschund spice rack is truly made of awesome, despite its disappointing price tag. It would look fantastic in any kitchen if only the price were a little lower.
ReplyDeleteAndi, you're so gorgeous :P
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your new hair. It frames your face so beautifully!
And u love that dress, looks as if it was made for you.
Markets are so much fun, even if you don't buy anything. I think it's the atmosphere, and i must admit too, i quite like the smell of old things :) Its a shame though that the best things are often way overpriced, and seem to be getting more so now that vintage is 'in vogue'. That's awesome that you found something good for a bargain, of course!
I love the diversity of the style of photography in this post :)
Thanks for sharing!

I remember when I regularly visited this market about ten years ago with my parents I would always buy something. These days when I go I hardly ever buy anything. Still can't resist going for a browse though!
