To Market, To Market...

Hello,

Today David and I explored the Glebe markets - they are a haven if you are looking for something to wear, not however, if you are after something to read.

I didn't end up buying anything, but there were a few bits and pieces that took my fancy. I am not going to buy anything until I have a job now - food really should come first (though its not all that bad, I'm just being dramatic!).

I do have some positive news on the job front however. The interview I did on Friday went really really well and later on that day my old boss sent me an email saying that they had called her, she had said good things (like she should), they had told her the interview had gone really well, and she thinks I might have it. I really hope so, I'm sick of not working, I really do need structure in my day and really do like being productive!


I fell in love with the butterfly sleeves on this dress, which is from our local markets before they actually became our local markets. We were in the area looking at a few rental places and decided to stop on in. Sadly though, the stall I got the dress from has not turned up again and they had some great pieces at really affordable prices. Oh well, I live in hope for the day they return.

It was another beautiful, warm autumnal day and I'm starting to wonder if Sydney will ever actually happen upon autumn. Or winter for that matter...

Love this adorable pink dress, its really sweet!

I know what you mean about the weather Jen, this has been the most insanely hot and lingering summer! If it makes you feel any better, it is not usually this bad (and definitely not usually this hot in April!) I, too, am hoping for winter to arrive asap.

I would absolutely love to catch for for coffee or lunch sometime! Shoot me an email at cgeenty@y7mail.com , I am currently working in the Sydney CBD so I'm sure we could find somewhere nice to meet up. x

glad to hear your interview went well. Are you still going to be in the events industry? I gradute in June so I am looking for an events job but if I can't find anything I will go into marketing cause that is my other major.

Hello!
Welcome to Sydney. I moved here about 18 months ago from the UK and have never looked back! I keep meaning to go to Glebe Markets but havent got round to it yet but if your looking for books cheap (i know theyre hideously overpriced here!) try Gleebooks on Glebe Pt Rd or Basement books on Lee St in the city.

Greetings from Spain ^_^

If you are after something to read in the area, then check out Gleebooks. Arguably Sydney's best bookstore.

what a great dress! I wish i had local markets like what you seem to have. vintage is so hard to come by where I am... the internet becomes my friend.

I hope everything works out with that job!

i wish you all the luck for finding a job that suits you! i was really lucky, when i moved from germany to norway in january it only took me about two to three weeks to find a great job (or at least a job which is not totally boring and within the sector i want to work in).
