And take us by storm it did. Well, maybe it was more like a drizzle, but it did its best to wow us. We explored the pristine shopping locations (the Plaza and 3 or 4 main streets...talk about a shopping bonanza!) and had lunch at a cute cafe (which was actually very lovely, no sarcasm needed at all).
While we were shopping in the Plaza, we decided to visit Traralgon's op shops. We went to St Vincent's, and boy, were we not expecting what they had on offer...
Because we are hoping to move out (we, meaning myself, Tash and another awesome friend of ours, Emily) next year, we decided to see what St Vinnies had for our new apartment next year. I could describe them to you, but it would surely do no justice to the beautiful and classy items bestowed upon us that day...
An entree dish, perhaps?
Couch option #1...adore the pattern.
Now, who wants Burberry when you've got St Vinnies? We thought of using this cute caddy bag for our laundry...now who's gonna be the trendy one when we wheel that baby to the laundromat!
Does this look like a year 8 ceramics project to you? I was thinking of trying to pass it off as my own...love the glaze.
Couch option #2...musky green velveteen will make a comeback!
A bit of light reading for our bookshelf...
Thought we'd shop for some shades while we were there...Tash with her bright green sunnies! And yes, she did leave with them! (We paid, don't worry).
Ohhhh yeah.
So that was us, at St Vinnies. We had a rockin time (clearly). Who knew that shopping for house stuff could be so much fun?
Well, all the items (bar Tash's green shades) we explored, we decided not to buy just yet (need to consult #3, E-Ferg). But they will be our benchmarks at least!
We did, however, decide to purchase something.
Our very first house item! Historic, indeed. Presenting...
GENE.
Well, that's what I want to call him anyway, but we'll have to see what everyone else says.
Man, our house will be the place to hang in '07!
