tell it like it is

New poster design for my Fremantle vintage shop. 

 

 Yes customers, I sell recycled and vintage treasures. No, they are not new and yes, I did not make them. Yes, my shop is called Vintage Space.

all systems are a go-go

Vintage Space have officially landed in their new shop space. 35m square of vintage and recycled for man and woman folk.

MANY 6160 Fremantle Shop Space 

 If I wasn't so tired I would be doing a happy dance right about now. Thank you to all my fabulous customers who have made this new chapter a colourful one.

A television cameo appearance of our groovy vintage threads at MANY 6160. Plus you get to see where Vintage Space resides, within a hub of creatives.

The channel seven crew arrived to the whole building having been evacuated. Sirens were blaring, loud speakers repeated calm messages of an impending doom, firemen filed inside. Not sure why that was not shown.

get your vintage on

A last minute banner design for my facebook event page. Time to get my vintage market hat on and decide what is coming to this huge,  300+ stallholder fair. 

Ugly 1980's/90's  jumpers and shirts are all the rage here in little, young Perth. Either way,  there will be plenty of vintage variety to please the young,  the old and the immortal souls of my hometown.

vintage wall art

Living with someone that has different aesthetics to you can be frustrating for both parties involved. As a vintage dealer, I often have to pass on treasures that I would prefer to keep. Typically vintage furniture and wall art are the topic of such discussions.  

1984 Burwood Plastic birds USA

These captive bluebirds are not allowed to fly on our walls. Maybe, one day they will be free.

mid century kitsch tiki plastic panther relief

This kitsch panther adorned our wall for a few months before it had to find another home.  

mid century copper abstract relief

I found this mid century copper relief yesterday but promised I would sell it on! I guess the positive aspect is that my walls are an ever changing canvas.

Maybe, I Don't Want To Dance

Photobomb fun with Tony Manero (John Travolta).

The photograph is a still, taken from the  movie Saturday Night Fever, 1977. 

 John Travolta's solo dance, disco madness,  performance to 'You Should Be Dancing', by the Bee Gees. 

I do seem to find too much time to play, now back to some serious work!

Polka Dot Vintage Fair

It is that time of year, once again. The Claremont Showgrounds, three in one vintage, craft and antique markets.

Vintage Space will be sharing a stall with the our good friends, Vintage Chloe.  Which will involve sore cheeks due to excessive laughter.  We do seem to have too much fun. 

Hope to see you there x
