They supply those in the trade, and us regular folk. I don't have much use for the uniforms, but I have wandered through the kitchenware showroom many times, eyeing up lethal looking knives, those cone shaped sieves used for making superior sauces, and lovely teapots and microplane graters. The high quality brands stocked means it isn't exactly cheap, but the prices seems a lot better than a few other places I could mention. The staff are very friendly and looking to help. Ooh! I know! One of those little blowtorches! I can't eat creme brulee but I want one anyway!

Made On Earth is one of the few remaining independent giftware/homewares stores in the CBD. As…read moresuch, you can find things you don't see replicated on every street corner. They stock a huge range from bric-a-brac to candles, scarves and kitchenalia, even sometimes lovely chinese painted furniture which I've never been able to work out how to get back home on the train. They used to be located in the old Midcity centre across the road, and to my mind have never replicated the lush and comfy feel of the old store. But the staff are always lovely, and they have sales where you can pick up a real bargain. When you're stuck for a last minute gift, it's the perfect place to rush in a find something slightly out of the ordinary.

I love this place!…read more Popped in yesterday because I'm doing a bit of redecorating and wanted to see what they had. Ended up with more than I expected. They have a great range of home decor and small gifts you can use as a joke or on a serious note. I always come here for a last minute gift idea and it's great for secret santa parties. Make sure you walk through the whole store and look at everything. There are hidden gems everywhere and you might walk away with some pretty unique gifts.

I recently had a really shocking experience with grooming services here as I witnessed one of the…read moregroomers hurting my dog. I had dropped her off to be groomed and went for lunch nearby. I decided to stop in to see when she would be finished and as I approached the store could hear a dog shrieking nonstop so I ran in. As I entered I saw the groomer roughly (extremely roughly) handling my dog and I yelled for him to stop, that he was hurting her. There were no apologies! I will never go back and do not recommend anyone try it. My dog is used to being groomed as she is every 2 months, plus lots of brushing in between. I have been in other shops while she is being groomed and I have never heard her make a sound. In fact, I've never heard her make a sound like that before. It makes me sick to think that groomer might still be abusing other dogs the way he abused mine.

They even had an entire section of pots and planters, some locally made by artists. My favorite thing was the little skull planters with a cactus in it that looked like a brain. They even called it "The Brain." I also found a very pretty peperomia, which I wish I could have taken home. It was nicely variegated and I haven't seen those colors before. We parked across the street and down the road but it wasn't a far walk at all. We had come from a small cafe.

Newtown Garden Market has everything you need to make your flower or vegetable garden thrive, or make your indoor herb garden ever-so fruitful. There are countless varieties of plantables, yes. But there are also plenty of things to fill your outdoor space with artsiness and style. I couldn't help but marvel over the tin garden sculptures of animals. Fashioned out of recycled materials (or so it seemed), these creatures are creative and somewhat abstract. Position one or two next to a solar powered gurgling bird bath and you might never want to leave your garden again. For me, I was drawn to the succulents. Spiky, cute, and virtually un-kill-able, these little bad boys are my favourite. Maybe it's because they also make me feel like a bit of a badass. It's not true, but a girl can dream, can't she?
