With the idea of a rummage sale on her mind for years, the 23-year-old first toyed with clothing swaps with friends, which didn't always work thanks to sentimental reasons.
“It's just easier to work with money,” she said jokingly.
“I grew up with hand-me-downs and my mum's friends used to bring over suitcases full of clothes — we'd go through them and it'd be amazing.
“That turned into op-shopping at uni and then I just became obsessed with it.”
After three years of thinking about it, the fashion merchandising graduate decided to pursue organising a large-scale rummage, originally set to happen in April last year.
“We had about 40 stalls booked for the first event, which I had to postpone due to lockdown,” Ms Morse said.
“Out of all of that only three or four asked for a refund, the rest all pushed on to the November event, which I then also had to postpone.
“The majority of them have kept their bookings from last year, which is absolutely fantastic, considering it's been a whole year in the works.”
In the meantime, Ms Morse has successfully sold another 32 stalls and only has 10 more available.
To be hosted at Tatura's Victory Hall, Ms Morse said she'd had to expand the rummage to the secondary hall next door and out to the basketball courts as well.
“The only stalls left are outside for $15,” she said.
“I went to look at the hall last year with my mum and I remember walking in there thinking `holy cow, this is huge, if I sell this out I'm going to be happy'.”
With the majority of stalls sold to fellow Goulburn Valley folk, Ms Morse said there was no theme around what people could sell at their stalls.
“For me, I've just got everything,” she said.
“Bags, shoes, clothing, I think the majority of people will have quite a wide variety of things.
“A few people even contacted me about male clothing and kids’ clothing, which there will be a small selection of, but the majority will be women's clothing.
“You tend to buy what you love, because you genuinely like it, not because it's marketed at you,” she said.
“That, and I think it's a great way to repurpose things, not everyone has the money to go out and buy new.
“And if you're trying to be more sustainable, this is a way for people who are saving up to buy a house or (are) on a smaller salary, those people who can't necessarily afford to go out and buy artisan Australian-made items.”
