1. Cross Road Collectables
Cross Road Collectables is one of my favorite places in Adelaide to be, it's about 30 or so minutes from my home but I find myself going there almost every week. From paper ephemera to vintage cosmetics and bottles, Cross road collectables has it all! I remember the first time I went to Crossroads I immediately knew that this store will be my second home. 'Crossies' has the friendliest and helpful staff and make it a pleasure to spend a large amount of my money there!I truly cannot put into words how good Crossies really is, you just have to go there and trust me you won't be disappointed! Take a look at their Facebook page (linked above) and look at their photos they upload daily and get an idea of what they have! (by the way you'll need a couple of hours to look through the whole store there's that much stuff!).
A few of my favorite things from Crossroads:
My antique and vintage bottle collection (all from Crossroads), 'rustic' drawer from a charity store.
One of my favorite bottles, antique apothecary bottle.
Vintage Mistral fan (and photo of my Grandpa in the Army during the sixties).
Vintage dip tin (planter from Ikea)
2. Vintage Carousel
Vintage Carousel is a pleasure to look in (and buy of course), the store is impeccably styled/ put together and is where I draw a lot of my inspiration from for my own personal style. Here's an example of the store's style:
VC is a definite must see with its countless number of precious items! Here are a couple of my favorite purchases from VC:
Vintage tool caddy (planter from Ikea).
Vintage tin (the love of my life) which I use as a bin in my beauty room (no disrespect to the tin).
3. Vintage Boulevard
Vintage Boulevard is a store much closer to me and one that I enjoy looking through so much! The store has lots of beautiful furniture, rustic items and records. I'm also I bit bias because my mother knows the owners, but nevertheless it's another must on the list!
My favorite purchase from Vintage Boulevard:
Vintage coffee tin.
4. Three Card Trick
Three Card Trick is another beautifully styled store with lovely treasures (with an amazing Café next door!). The trip down there makes a perfect afternoon!
My favorite purchase from TCT:
Retro coffee cup (came with succulent), see how I used/ styled it here.
5. Castle Collectables
Castle Collectables is Cross Road Collectable's sister store where all its furniture is kept and there is an abundance of it! With Plenty of furniture and many other collectables make sure to check it out!
