A Pleasant Saturday Afternoon

Mr red roses and I ventured out for a walk along the Brisbane River today. Sunny, warm, hard to believe it's winter.
Huge redevelopment of the commercial port area has seen mega expensive apartments springing up.
Our beloved pooch enjoys a stroll although her advancing years are catching her up so when she lags behind she is scooped up and carried. Bless her.
A stop for bruschetta and coffee afterwards was in order before heading home.
All in all a pleasant Saturday afternoon enjoying the delights of our city.

Discovering Quaint Collectables

After a spot of business recently near the Woolloongabba Antique Centre we popped in for a sticky beak. This was my first visit and I found the set-up enchanting with retro music playing and a nice little cafe to replenish one's system after trawling through the bits and bobs.

Here is a quick tour 

Tea being my poison of choice I appreciate a dainty tea cup but I certainly do not require anymore in the hacienda.

A very colourful and eclectic chandelier

Crystal...somebody stop me!!!!

Cowboy boots anyone?

Trolls. Not the awful cyber type who live to create havoc but the cute as a button only a mother could love variety. Check out the belly button bling. Cute.
I remember owning several back in the day..did you?
Come on, you're allowed to confess in blog land

Well hello I'm hooked. Pretty tea pot, cup and saucer with accompanying tiny milk bottle and a delish mini cheesecake. All the while perched in a booth reminiscent of my 60's childhood kitchen and many an Australian milk bar.
Vinyl bench seats and a laminex table top...oh the memories

Here are my cranberry coloured toes and retro-ish Laura Ashley print frock which was befitting the venue.
Do you ever get a surprise and find photos on your camera that miraculously appear? The camera gremlins snapped this one!

After living in this city for two decades it's fascinating to discover new places.
