Hope that you are interested in more of our adventures in Olinda.
Olinda and its neighbouring village, Sassafras, are full of quirky little shops. TraderVic and I found this one fascinating, with wonderful paintings and other objets d'art which we would have loved to have taken home but as our house is already full to the brim we managed to resist. I just took lots of pics to share with you all and to keep as a remembrance......
Some beautiful tapestries:
We both particularly liked this print of the couple dancing on the beach. TraderVic and I took ballroom dancing lessons a few years ago and loved it. (We were sick of just shuffling around the dance floor at weddings.)
Isn't this a sensational Art Deco lamp?
The Lady of Shallot is one of my favourite literary figures:
TraderVic examining an old eye chart.
After all that browsing we had Pie Floaters (usually a South Australian Dish) at a local bakery called "Pie in the Sky":
Followed by some yummy scones with jam and cream - A delicious lunch!
Then it was off to do some more exploring of Olinda Village:

I haven't been to Olinda in years. Must get back there. I'm not too sure about that pie floater but give me scones, jam and cream any day! I love that sculpture of the children on the slide.
Love your photos. What a delightfully quirky place to spend some time! And the food looks yummy.
I love all the pictures, what a fabulous shop! Not sure I could have escaped without purchasing anything. Looks like you could have spent days there just looking around.
Looking forward to the next installment.
