Twice upon a time gives second hand and antique wares a second spin of the old hourglass. Located on the main antique drag on Logan road, this is one of my favourite stores to visit. Filled to the brim with english and australian furniture, barometers, silver, porcelains and various other bric-à-brac you can spend a happy afternoon perusing the range on offer. (Be sure to also check out the beautiful grandfather clocks!) With such a good central location and reasonably friendly staff (It depends on what side of the bed they woke up on) this place is well worth a pop-in.

Twice Upon A Time, what a magical sentiment. It makes me think of unrealistic but inspirational Disney moments where everyone gets a second chance and dreams really can come true for a 16-year-old rebellious mermaid or an aristocratic-turned-servant-turned-princess who has issues with midnight. But that’s what Twice Upon A Time is all about; it’s about giving antiques and furniture and old wares a second life, which is the very reason I love antique shops so much. Twice Upon A Time has some truly lovely English and Australian furniture pieces. Thinking about adding this type of furniture to my house always gives me such a light in my eyes, because can you really imagine having so much rich history just sitting in your living room? I want to furnish my whole house with antique and pre-loved furniture in the future, and Twice Upon A Time will definitely be one of my first stops. There’s chairs, tables, silver, trinkets, jewellery boxes, drawers, coffee tables, and an ornate cabinet that I found out was named a credenza, and a Victorian credenza at that. How can you not gravitate to a shop like this with that much silvery whimsy? I let my imagination run wild in a place like this. The furniture is beautiful, visit!
