Introducing.....Kristen of Madame Dickybird

Hi, I'm Madame Dickybird and I hand make my delightful Dickybird Hats from floral and plain cottons, denims, ribbons, roses and buttons.

Each hat is unique, original and carefully crafted .They cost as little as $25 each.This month I am introducing my range of Dickybird dresses. Nostalgically inspired from vintage aprons, Petticoat Junction, and Doris Day. Each dress is hand made right from the pattern thru to the last stitch -all by myself. Fitted bodices and gathered skirts have dainty pockets and sashes tied at the back.

Relive the nostalgia of innocence, prettiness, frivolity and fun wearingruffles and bows, trimmed with rick rack and bias binding.

Dickybird dresses cost as litttle as $19 thru to $35. See you on Sunday November 7th!

Luv Madame Dickybird

Introducing another wonderful Rummager - Sarah Hazlehurst of

Ahoy Dear Sailor....

Ahoy Dear Sailor derived from my love of anything and everything vintage as well as my obsession for nautical clothing.

I started making badges and jewelery which is always fun, as well as selling vintage collectibles. Each handmade item is original and all vintage is hand selected and one of a kind!

I personalize badges and jewelery to your order and will hunt for any specific vintage item you have been searching for!!

Sarah's suitcase at the Rummage is just gorgeous - check her out next time! Visit her lovely blog at http://ahoydearsailor.blogspot.com/

We'd like to introduce another of our wonderful suitcase holders....

Ricky Sullivan of Laundry Prints Co.

Photography has always been an interest to me, my Father and Auntie both have a history of developing their own prints. Even my Grandfather would develop contact prints and send them to my Grandmother while serving in the war.

We've been developing prints in our make shift laundry lab since 2008. We've spent many nights standing on a cold, wet floor, experimenting with traditional techniques of print making.

Each print is a unique work of art, no two prints are exactly the same. There are no computers involved, just lots of attention to detail, perfecting our craft print by print.

We sell our prints frameless and unmounted, making our works easy enough to give as gifts. Or for a more personal touch, we can mount or frame any of our photos for you.

Come check out our collection, we're building it week by week and hope to add a new selection for every suit case rummage.

We call ourselves the Laundry Print Co. Have a chat to us at Suitcase Rummage this Sunday or visit our new site at laundryprintscompany.com.

Ricky and Dean.

We have so many gorgeous and wonderful Suitcase holders that come and partake in Suitcase Rummage. We want to introduce you to some over the next little while, so you can put faces to names at the Rummage!

This time around the Rummager we want to introduce you to is Laura:

Being an artist and mad opshopper for several years now, I have built up quite the collection of vintage & retro treats. I love anything with a great pattern or that carries a little bit of history to it. As a keen baker, kitchenalia has been a long time favourite of mine and especially teacups
and cake plates that I can put to good use with my baked goods.

I love anything that reminds me of my beautiful grandmothers which I'll either use in my art or to decorate my eclectic home. As my collection increases, I thought it time to share some of these collectables with other likeminded people.

Suitcase rummage has been the perfect platform for this. If I can cut 10 metres of my vintage curtain fabric or wallpaper in half and give someone the same enjoyment that I get from having it for a fraction of antique centre prices, then finding me at rummage is your best bet. Come and have a chat over retro pillowcases & english cake plates some time, I'd love to meet you.
