If you happen to see a bright red and pink caravan cruising the streets of Brisbane and south-east Queensland, do not be alarmed. You are not hallucinating, and you should follow this vehicle for vintage shopping fun.
The Best Little Vintage Van in Vegas is a travelling second hand market stall that flogs its wares from the back of an old-fashioned motor home. This is something of a holistic shopping experience. The setting – the van, it's Astro-turfed gardens and flamingo and garden gnome decorations – as well as the vintage clothing, home wares and bric a brac on display, will have you feeling like you've stepped through a time warp.
This event is founded and run by a dedicated vintage hoarder who now shares her expertise and collection with the public. Browse a huge selection of vintage clothing as well as retro treats like ceramic collectibles and cup and saucer sets.
The van will travel throughout the region, stopping at a new location each week. Markets, parks, festivals and even street corners are some of the sites to look out for. Visit the Best Little Vintage Van in Vegas
