(photo by @tatiana_c_c_s) "T W Sands and Co is moving out of its premises in Swanston Street in early November and will be very sad to be leaving the City of Melbourne after 100 years of continuous operation in the city. If customers need any spare parts (chimneys, wicks, mantles, etc), come in VERY SOON. Lamp and shade sale will be ongoing for month of October, so some very beautiful lamps will be available for sale. In the future, there will be a very limited retail presence, with details still being worked out. The time to come in and get these items is NOW." https://talesofbrickandmortar.com/2018/02/20/t-w-sands-and-co-est-1918/ #melbourne #lamps #lamp #kerosene #kerosenelamps #antique #history #historicalmelbourne #melbournecity #visitmelbourne #visitvictoria #lampsofinstagram #antiquelamps#melbourneiloveyou #wandervictoria #abcmyphoto #portraitphotography #libraryvicpic #smallbusiness #carlton #melbournemuseum @historical_melbourne @hidden_secrets_melb @library_vic

Sad to see that Out of Print Books etc on Glenhuntly Rd has closed. Had a chat with Ken about his shop, the industry and everything else a while back. It was a great bookstore. #melbourne #elsternwick #books #bookstore #reading #shoplocal #supportlocal #historicalmelbourne #booksofinstagram #melbourneblog #portrait #independentbookstore #talesofbrickandmortar @historical_melbourne @elsternwickvillage @readingsbooks @cityofgleneira @cityofmelbourne @library_vic @abcopen
