Bigger is better. The old Lost and Found Market knew that. You could get lost for days in the vintage frock racks upstairs at that place. Now the 'new' Lost and Found market opened up late last year further up Smith Street and it's not only bigger, but it's brighter and is it just me or has the ratio of good stuff gotten better?

The new Lost and Found market still has everything you could ever want but now it's conveniently located next to everything else you could want - the vintage buttons are next to spools of thread, near the sewing patterns and of course the vintage sewing machine...need I go on? Plus it's a one-stop shop, the several sunny levels full of everything from Grant Featherston chairs to colourful pots and pans and short-shorts - and did I mention they have shoes? Lots of shoes. Also, unlike most op shops you don't have to look through one million racks of poly-blend to find something half-decent.

If all that wasn't enough, remember that being a thrifty/vintage/recessionista/whatever shopper, you're also helping to prevent global warming and probably saving yourself from the cash crisis fallout. True story.
