Loving Lonsdale

 

Some time ago my beautiful girlfriends Anna and Rach gave me a voucher for the Designer Op Shop in Braddon. We finally found a Saturday morning where all three of us could leave the kidlets with our obliging husbands for a girls only outing. Nothing like a child-free morning on Lonsdale Street to kickstart the weekend!

 

 

A caffeine hit at SweetBones with its mismatched furniture, retro flair and amazing coffee got us off to a good start.

We then entered homewares heaven in the form of

Hive

 

 
 
One of those completely gorgeous stores you can lose yourself in.
 
Speaking of stores you can lose yourself in...
 
 
 
 
Oh my...
 
 

 


So many pretty vintage pieces.

 
 
 
I found a sweet black and white dress and this super cute pink resin ring. I also had my eye on a beautiful silk Burberry jacket but alas, Burberry and toddlers do not mix so I'll leave it for another day.
 
Sharyn and her daughters Daniella and Taylor run this gem of a store.



You can see more of Designer Op Shop on Facebook and Instagram.

 
Our last stop was Hipsley Lane.
 
 
 
Another vintage treasure trove where I picked up a little French Connection jacket and a Stockholm cotton shirt before succumbing to the excruciating pain of raw radiated skin and headed home.
 
Not a bad little bounty for one morning's work...
 
 
 
Thanks Anna & Rach...spending time with you is all kinds of beautiful!
