On Saturday, I took a quick day trip to Ballarat to visit my little sister and check out the new business that she has joined - Big House Collective.
The front counter - the pigeon holes are amazing!
It's a beautiful big 100 year old double storey house on Sturt St, filled to the brim with vintage goods, collectibles, furniture, bric-a-brac, clothing, and handmade goodies.
This is my sisters business banner (designed by me)!
These shelves were originally in my garage. Now that they're painted white, I think I want them back....
My little cabinet in the front room. My mission today is to make a little tablecloth to cover the coffee table at the bottom.
I love this groovy table and chairs (if only I had a bigger house).
Be still my beating heart..... upstairs are the vintage dresses
I was very restrained, but I did make a couple of purchases, including this lovely wooden paper sorter above (sorry about the blurry pic).
The Big House is at 614 Sturt St. They're open every day from 10AM (except today from 12PM).

Wow! I hope your sister does really well. The white shelves do look great ... what a wonderful Big House.
You have a good excuse to return and buy more, more, more!

I'll be visiting there soon Cam. I can't wait to see your goodies there.
A trip down memory lane. My Mum had one of those big bread bins! Cherrie
thanks for the preview Cam, now I KNOW I have to make the trip to Ballarat. (I go up that way sometimes to visit a friend... I see a detour coming on!).
Now I'm completely peeved that the Big House is in Ballarat and not Adelaide... what deliciousness!
We used to have a Wiley Coyote mug just like that one on the table too! Lots of character is oozing from the Big House..wonderful.
That looks like a lovely shop. Good luck to your sister.
looks like a great shop! xo
It looks like a fantastic place to visit. I have to say looking at the first photo that little striped seat looks like one I used to have when I was about 4 years old which I had completely forgotten all about.
You've made my day! What a beautiful house and gorgeous goodies for sale. I love the bannister - I love the stained glass windows - I love the sneak peek of the hall stand...I think I'll sit here for a while...
Cannot believe how much you and Sel look alike and sound alike. :-) Next time I hope to have ore time looking through.
Oh it looks like heaven! I adore those pigeon holes...and those dresses...and, and, and...
Just love it!
