I found my personal mecca the other day. We went to beautiful Daylesford, about 90 minutes out of Melbourne, and checked out Shed 4 - A Day on Earth. I think I heard angels singing. This shop (it's actually a huge warehouse) is owned by David Bromley, a fabulous British born (raised in Australia) artist. He really is one of my favourites.
The warehouse was full of vintage crates, old worker's lockers, David's art, pottery and even a couple of Japanese coin operated kiddie rides. Absolute heaven. So sad to leave it all behind.
A fabulous box table featuring art by David Bromley, coin operated kiddie ride, and the chair that I can't get out of my mind. Love that colour.
Vintage paddles adorned with Bromley faces (my friend, Nikki, would love these), the backside of a plate, and a quartet of illuminated children. My husband plans on purchasing the blue girl. We adored her. Wouldn't she make a fabulous "greeter" in a front hall?The last few days have been incredible. The air is so clean and fresh here in Kyneton, and the smell of gum trees is amazing. Ahh, Australia.

Sounds great! I'll have to add this to my list of places I still need to go in Australia!
Enjoy :-)
What a fun little place! I think you're right - an illuminated girl would make the best greeter. Thanks so much for sharing some of your Australian adventure. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
It all looks so wonderful!! Glad you are enjoying yourself!!!

I love those lights, and that chair is gorgeous too! What a great place for finding things!
Lucky you, under those big blue skies with coin-operated kiddie rides. I hope he has Japanese coins.
Hello Janis,
Welcome to Melbourne. I lived nearby in Flinders on the Mornington Peninsula for 5 years. If you have a chance check out Pomme in Mornington (tell Sue - Marjorie sent you) and Tree in Flinders. Both are super cool shops with equally cool owners.
Have you been to David Bromley's shop in Melbourne?
Cheers,
Marjorie
