I’m a Sydney-based freelance writer. I also sell retrotastic clothes to lovely ladies and gents via markets and the odd garage sale. This site is the little, image obsessed sister to my blog, which can be found at www.owlandthegrapes.com. I can be contacted at owlandthegrapes@gmail.com.Tumblr (3.0; @owlandthegrapes)http://owlandthegrapes.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lbg6ubv3Fe1qbenrio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Despite having lived through it, I’m actually rather hopeless when it comes to the nineties.

For good reason, too. What’s not to love about wallet friendly, hand picked vintage and retro clothing a stone’s throw from the city? This weekend, we’ll be holding the first official sale at our new premises, which combines everything you loved about Hibernian House, including the uber cool warehouse vibe and super low prices, with everything we felt you deserved, including more room to move, proper changing rooms, a projector screen and the convenience of our own little laneway in the heart of Surry Hills.
