Being a collector, I am always on the hunt for something new (well, not literally) but something that I do not have in my various collections.
I have therefore made a list of the Fairs that will be on during May, so that all the collectors or those interested in antiques can attend as many as they are able!
1. COLLECTORS FAIR AND EXHIBITION - TOODYAY
Toodyay is a place where I have found some great treasures, and although it is a 45-minute drive from Perth (depending on where you live), I have mostly found it worthwhile!
This Fair will be held on the 5th and 6th May at the Toodyay Town Hall, Toodyay Rd, from 9.00 am to 4.00 pm on the Saturday, and from 9.00 am to 3.00 pm on the Sunday.

As this is an inaugural event, there is bound to be some new items as well as some new sellers, so perhaps spend a weekend in Collie on this date!
4. COLLECTORS ZONE - TOY & HOBBY FAIR
