A wee step back in time.



Yesterday I was out and about in the wilds of the Wimmera when nature called.

So I popped in here.....




My usual loo spot was a no go zone with masses of workmen paving new paths. 



It was like stepping back in time.


To a very nice time, I must add.



It was as clean as a whistle, and neat as a pin.
There were lace cloths, faux flowers and neatly written instructions.

Who knew this type of place still existed?

I could imagine ladies coming to town for the day, popping in for a chat and a rest, Mothers feeding babies. I bet some tales have been told within these walls.



Check out the colours of the furniture.



The loos were clean.


And, came complete with a view.


It makes me feel happy that places like this still exist.

Everybody needs a little browse now and then.


I popped over to Cox & Cox on the weekend for a little browse. 



How cute are these little birds on a wire!



I have a shockingly ugly hat basket.
This would be an improvement.



Too cute, would look great in Miss B's room.


Spotty birds, love them.


I am still liking this lacy tape.



Spools of ribbon.


Doilies for my inner nanna.



Ahhh Cox & Cox, I enjoyed my virtual browse.
If you have any favourite browsing spots, 
please let me know. 
We are supposed to be in for some
wet weather in coming days and I feel some browsing time coming on!

I am afraid to say,
My inner Nana is alive and kicking.
I am embracing the lace!

Haberdashery- Spools

You may have noticed that apart from one lapse with the t towels I have not posted any Christmas posts
Yet!
That is because I am waiting until December 1st.

I love this Sadie Olive photography.
I also love her bits and pieces of haberdashery and 
spools of ribbon and lace.

The Nordic folks also seem to love the wooden spools and in their light,
they look so good.

If only I had kept all my old wooden reels.
I will have to keep an eye out for some.
