Today I started my errands in North Melbourne:
I hadn’t had breakfast so at 11:15 I went to Crumbs Organic Bakehouse on Errol Street to try their pizza. The window display had the usual delicious looking treats and I settled for a pizza slice with tomato, capsicum and mushroom. Yum!
Well. This was the week I was supposed to stop eating desserty things and sugar. I sort of forgot about that:
From North Melbourne I hopped on the tram and headed in to the city to meet up with my buddy J. While I was waiting for her, I hung around the Block Arcade. Here’s the mosaic, complete with a stranger’s manky shoe:
I didn’t need an excuse to listen to this guy outside play:
When I met up with J, we went to l’uccello, supplier of vintage haberdashery materials. What a beautiful shop! From the windows and wood panelling, to the displays and just all kinds of beautiful awesome. See for yourself!
l’uccello is located in the old Nicholas Building in Melbourne. I was all oohing and ahhing over the little doors:
I would love a letterbox like this:

Here are some more snaps I took when out in the city today, before it started bucketing down and made my Lord of the Fries burger go all soggy while I was trying to eat it when hurrying to my tram stop:
The view from the Lord of the Fries stand at Flinders Street station:
Hope you enjoyed that little tour 🙂
Lovely photos of Melbourne – looks like a fun day!
It was, thanks! Thanks for visiting my blog, yours looks fab!
Thanks same to you! Good luck with your Greek vegan challenge! Sounds difficult!
always love your melbourne photos – I thought it looked like the nicholas buildings – have been up there a few times and it is just so gorgeous – must go to this shop – sylvia and I would go crazy over all the stuff. Sorry to hear about your soggy burger – that rain was crazy today – I had to go out in the car and had to wait til it was over.
I still ate the soggy burger 😛 It was disappointing though cos every time I took a bite I’d get the bun and the filling would be pushed further down in to the wrapping. So I had to fish it all out in the rain.
Your photos are fantastic!
So great to catch up with you. Now I need to sell a kidney or two and go back and buy myself lots and lots of vintage millinery goodies.
You should have seen me in Kimono House today… I tried so hard not to stroke every bit of fabric.
Boy I wish I lived near you! You are always in the city eating food and checking out the scenery. I could use a buddy to do that with. 🙂
There’s more to come! 🙂
