A Sojourn












This week I went with my sister for a little day trip to the Southern Highlands. We stopped at Mittagong firstly and perused the local antique and quilt shops. We then headed for Bowral in the most casual of fashions - after all, we were sans husbands and childrens! So to some lunch at Elephant Boy and then a meander along Bong Bong Street. We found the very gorgeous My Place, spent quite some time admiring fabrics and beautiful things until we realised that time was really getting away from us and we needed to cover more ground.

Our last stop of the day was Peppergreen Antiques. Even after numerous visits to this amazing store, I am still very overwhelmed by it. It is an antique store with department store proportions. Huger than huge. I delight in the extensive haberdashery collections, the linen - sheets, pillowcases, tablecloths, that cover a huge space, the teacups, the cutlery, the jewel, the vintage magazines. The above photos are from there.

Anthropologie for D. Ogilby

Tardy, yes, I know! The USA trip was sooooo long ago, but I still have so many photos to share, so share I will.





These ostrichs were Amazing (note the capital A). The detail was super Amazing.




Oh, to have a cluster of oils like these at home.

Love the quirk.

Anthropolgie was one shop that I was really looking forward to visiting when I reached the States and that I did in a few states, consuming many an hour. It was everything I had wished for x 10. Just wish it was here in Australia (anyone with some excess $$$ that wants to try and buy a store for Oz - feel free to email me, happy to help)! Anyway, I was allowed to take photos of their great merchandising and gorgeous products, so here are some.

Now, no need to despair, I'm told by Anthropologie that they will mail order to Australia by the end of January.
