A morning at the convent



Yesterday was a very hot day (31 degrees) so we headed out early to buy a Christmas tree and some new decorations (I'll take some photos of our little tree and show you soon, it's so cute).

Then for morning tea at Abbotsford Convent and a 'chino' as Little Miss A calls it.



The convent is no longer a functioning convent but now houses many artists studios, a school and a few cafe's.

*Damn, forgot to take a photo of the building



The grounds owned by the convent are what you would describe as part cultivated, part rustic in that it is left to its own devises which I like.



This dress is a very simple design and again handmade (not by me).

Family portrait in the gazebo.
Isn't it great when there are places to rest your camera for the timer that are at a decent height.

  3. Thank you Shallow Mallow

    Delia, yes that little kilt I bought the other day for only $4 - 100% wool and made in Scotland, how it made its way to Melbourne is something I wondered about - the secret lives of clothes ^U^
