Favourite Shop

Being away from home makes you appreciate two things – the love for new things and the love for your family.
I am on a girl’s weekend away with three of my dearest friends. We went to a fantastic shop today called Alba. What a gorgeous surprise to find heaps of vintage linens, eiderdowns, chandeliers and exquisite wall sconces. The man that owns and runs this shop has collected for many many years and it would have to be one of the best vintage shops I have ever been to.

Having a ball stopping off at lovely coffee shops along the way. The period homestead is beyond description. The gardens are a riot of colour and wood is plentiful on the acreage for our open fire. Plenty of night time eating and drinking and toasting marshmallows.

Headed out to a garage sale this morning and got some lovely finds and hope to find more at the maket in the morning. Could become quite accustomed to this life of leisure!

More photos and goss to come over the next few days.
