Dinosaur Designs Extinct store visit


Last Friday I flew into Sydney and before I caught the train up to Newcastle I visited the Dinosaur Designs samples and seconds store called Extinct.


It was exciting. The colour was overwhelming. Look at all those bangles!


Shelves upon shelves of resiny goodness.


Necklaces galore...


It is a small store but when I was there it was filled with enthusiastic shoppers.
I was one of them :)


The prices were great, starting at $35 for rings. I found the prices of the homewares to be about half of what they are in the retail stores. Exciting!!


I treated myself to a few little pieces in the blue/green range thanks to my lovely Great Auntie Ila who gave me some spending money. I haven't taken a piccy of them yet as the light has been so crappy here due to the hideous weather. Sorry :) I will do it soon though.
So, I would highly recommend a visit here.
Up next, more Newcastle sights...
ps A couple of you mentioned catching up when I was in Sydney next. I would have absolutely loved to have caught up with my Sydney bloggy friends but knew I only had a really limited time. Hopefully next time I get back up there.
pps. a few of you also asked about my IKEA shopping. They didn't have the frames I wanted so I had to treat myself to a couple of little inexpensive trinkets. Nothing too exciting. A post coming though ...

  5. Did they have two pairs of my earrings? I sent them via Australia Post about three weeks ago to be fixed and haven't heard anything!

    Thanks for reminding me ... they were probably tossed into the 'extinct' bargain bin!

  7. Ah, thanks for these photos, Sarah - definitely something to see when we finally make it back to Sydney for a visit. That's a shame about IKEA. Sigh. J x
