Melbourne Central

Hello

First off, the Emerging Artists Market at Melbourne Central. I have to say, one of the best malls I’ve ever gone to! Second only to Dubai Mall, which had a legit Diplodocus longus dinosaur and shark tank, among other things 😉  Each sector of that mall had different themes too so it was super fun to explore.

I’m not here to talk about that though; maybe in a different post? In the Emerging Artists Market, there were about 4 booths, all with different styles of course.

I was with my best and we were on a tight schedule so I was only able to talk to the people from Grandma Funk; Which was a-ok because it was swell! Apparently, the leading lady of Grandma Funk did not take up a fashion course but instead took up journalism. They’ve been at work for I think, 7 years? Not all that sure about the last part… The product quality at G.F. is great and the design is inventive and young. Really funky and a must visit 😉

 Goodness, I sound like an ad. but I speak of naught but the truth! Sadly, forewarning, the stuff’s expensive. My glasses alone cost 35 dollars :/ and this top?

IMG_6060Around 200 dollars ;-; (Then again, they said this was the last of its kind so it’s understandable). There were sales, around 10% ? But even so, my wallet is empty now haha

If I had more money I would’ve bought this necklace from the neighbouring booth next to G.F.

But this necklace cost 22 dollars. Not much better. The other two booths, I was not able to check because tight sked. and Lizzy wanted to go back to this, admittedly adorable and cozy, hole-in-the-wall library.

The thing here is, you can get a book and borrow it for however long but you need to return it or return another book in its place. I got a book titled, “The Problem with Single Women”  and Liz got, “I hate myself”. I can’t remember if she kept it or not…

Little Library at Melbourne Central

At 3:00, this happened:

They emerge from the clock every hour 🙂

Thumbs up for this mall. Even if you don’t have money, you can still find things to do 🙂

**I was not able to take a photo of the Little Library so I got the photo online. I’m a good noodle so here’s the link: http://www.weekendnotes.com/melbourne-central-little-library/
