I have been MIA
recently, working in Sydney and had a wonderful time even though
the only free time I had was from 3pm every day. (Unfortunately I forgot my camera so most of these photos are from my phone).
The view of the city on my walk to work everyday
I have been to Sydney twice
before, back in the early 1990s for long weekends (the first was to see Primal
Scream in 1992 and the other was to see a Manga exhibition - back in those days
not many exciting things happened in my home town so we had to travel 13 hours
in a car to see anything decent).
So when my work asked if I
was interested in representing them at an education EXPO for 4 days in Sydney I
put my hand up ME! ME! PLEEEEAAASE - Woo Hoo! Work was boring so I won't
go into that but at the end of each day I walked everywhere and just loved the
architecture of Surrey Hills - the Art Deco buildings were stunning and I
almost fell into a few puddles and drains straining my neck looking up at their
beauty.
Unfortunately all of the photos I took of the Deco buldings refuse to rotate and so this building was the only one I could post - I'm loving the paint work!
Bec from Black Swans Pond
tipped me off as to where the Sydney Antique Centre was and I actually became a
little catatonic at the size and brilliance of it all and got a headache - but
I powered on through the many stalls and found a few items that I fell in love
with.
Unfortunately this beauty was too expensive - isn't she divine!
I was also just down the road
from Crown Street and a little cluster of vintage shops where I happened across
a few more beauties at Strawberry Fields Vintage and met by coincidence someone that used to work for Pop
Boutique as did I in the UK, how small the world is. And I got a fab
scarf for free just 'cause we knew the same people.
Lovely scarf I picked up at Strawberry Fields Vintage
I so wish to go back again
but next time for a week, no work, and enjoy it with Mr Ed.

ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Sydney in years. Not since I left Canberra which is over 6 years ago now… gosh time flies!
I think I hit the jackpot where I was staying in Surrey Hills - so many great shops, cafe's and restaurants - I really want to go back and take a week to just walk around. If you get the chance visit as I'm sure it has changed a lot in 6 years :)
