How lucky are we in Melbourne…two vintage fairs in as many weeks! On Sunday, the Strictly Vintage market was held at one of my favourite venues…the Northcote Town Hall.

Vintage Garage is located in Smith Street…the double shop front is a little deceptive as this place is much bigger then you expect….and it’s jam packed full of treasures!
