Weekend away in Olinda - Part 2

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:

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:







Hope that you enjoyed looking at all of my photos - one more update to come but I will wait a couple of days before inflicting that on you! lol!
