Fun Friday

Although I live in Melbourne's east, I travel over to North Fitzroy every 6 weeks or so to have my hair cut.  Long story, I started with this hairdresser when we were both in Bourke St in the City, as he moved, first to Brunswick St and later to St Georges Rd, I followed.... nearly 30 years now at the same hairdresser, I'm too old to change.

So.. after getting my hair done I thought I'd pop up to see Miss Pen Pen, and her wonderful shop in Gertrude Street, ... what a delightful shop  -- and how lovely that she's made a heap of Qld Souvenir TeaTowels into cushions to sell for the Flood Relief.

On my way I popped into another favourite shop in Brunswick Street, Clara Fox Vintage and Retro.  Now, I must make it clear I never wear Retro clothes, but scarves, jewellery and handbags I do,  and I could not resist a couple of new scarves, and a brooch.
Clara has just got a whole new consignment of scarves.... so so so many to choose from.

alas!  I had to narrow it down to just 3 -- the lilac one is silk, screen printed with NZ ferns, still had a little card attached stating this, and dated 1980 Auckland Museum Shop.  Cute!   The other 2 I had to have for the colours.

Was about to pay and leave, but checked out her little jewellery cabinet, and fell in love with this silver and amber brooch... so a great day for me!
Clara Fox is at 479 Brunswick St, Fitzroy North, just north of Alexander Avenue, and well worth a trip if you are out that way.

This weekend my delightful granddaughter (LJ) arrives from Sydney for 2 weeks holiday, so we will be doing lots of shopping (she's a good Op Shopper), and lots of fun things.
