Surry Hills Markets

I like Surry Hills Markets.
After breakfasting on Bourke St, my boyfriend and I stumbled across Surry Hills Markets. It was a beautiful sunny day, so we decided to give it a whirl. With $ 10 each, we parted ways — he towards the baskets and shelves of books and I towards the racks and piles of dresses. This is what we found:
— A good range of vintage clothes, including Japanese vintage dresses, at varied prices — at one stall, all dresses were $ 10. Bargain.
— A varied selection of book stalls — one stall selling entire boxes of books for three bucks a box, others selling the same books for $ 10 each.
— Heaps of cheap new and second hand cds ($ 2 — $ 10 each) and dvds too.
— A tonne of 70’s homewares shops selling butter dishes, fondue pots, tupperware, teapots and sugar bowls
— Secondhand leather handbags, purses, belts and boots
Held the first Saturday of every month in Shannon Reserve, Surry Hills Markets make for a great Saturday morning post breakfast stroll. The first floor of the Surry Hills Library also hosts a Devonshire Tea on market days between 12noon and 3pm for only $ 5 a serve.
Take a friend and challenge yourselves to see who can find the best bargain — I came out with a beautiful floaty Japanese vintage dress for $ 10. My boyfriend with three cd’s, one still in the plastic. We called it a draw.
