Our southern neighbours may scoff, but as mild as a Brisbane winter may be, it still has us reaching for the blankets and burrowing our heads into beanies. So when the spring warmth comes creeping back and the sun regains her bite, it’s certainly cause to celebrate. Newstead boutique Vieille Branche – Things of Old seems to agree, throwing open the doors and inviting in a cast of local creatives to join the fun.

Brisbane artists and makers will mill between the antique French furniture this weekend, showcasing their handmade wares and delicious nibbles. Browse goodies from local favourites Nico Underwear, Flame&Pickle and Style Revolutionary, art and photography from Lesa Hepburn and Poema Weddings, flowers from Seraphine Floral and much more. Refuel with gourmet Asian street food from Wandering Elephant, Norwegian-style waffles from The Iron Ladies and a caffeine hit from Tall Short Coffee. The market will also serve as a bon voyage to Vieille Branche’s Jennifer and Jean-Charles as they depart Brisbane for another antique forage in France.
