Today, we headed over to Fitzroy to visit a shop I have been meaning to get to for a while…the quirky Third Drawer Down! Third Drawer Down is located in George St….just off Gertrude St…behind a graffiti tagged roller door….and it is Australia’s only trading museum! Yes, really! It is packed full of eccentric and […]
After enjoying what has become a Saturday morning ritual of having tea at Storm in a Teacup in Collingwood, we decided to see if we could hunt down somewhere nearby to have brunch!

After going to the Love Vintage Fair, I was all dolled up after having a fabulous makeover, so we decided to go have a late brunch before heading home. As we were at the Royal Exhibition Building, we headed to nearby Brunswick St to pick a new place to try for “Eating Out”. And this […]
