On the Saturday we went to the Danish Flower Art. It is a great little place that has a cafe, and craft shops and a iron works shop. They sell gourd's that you can paint and decorate for your garden. They also have a bead shop which my friend loved as she makes jewelry.
Then we went to Black Forest Hill which sells Australia's largest collection of German Grandfather Clocks and Cuckoo Clocks.
They don't just sell clocks they have Christmas decorations, babushka dolls, original German children's outfits, dolls, bears, linen, and the list goes on. It is such a lovely shop. My daughter loves to look at the gold fish where the water wheel is.
Then we went to The Chocolate Cottage, which is one of my favourite cafes. The have a huge range of home made chocolates plus other yummy things. The cafe is in an old house and is so warm. The gardens are cottage style with a big open area for the kids to play. Then there are the other shops that are behind the cafe. Scrapbooking a shabby shop, a quilting shop and an Australian shop. It is such a lovely place. After that we went home with our bag of goodies.
Then on Sunday we went to Picnic point for a picnic. After lunch and a play at the park we went for a walk along the walking tracks to take in the views.
Later that afternoon the three of us old roomies we went out for coffee and were lucky enough to find a cafe that happened to have a live jazz band playing. It turned out that one of the band members went to school with my friend. Small world:) After that we went our for a movie The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian
I had the best weekend, it was so nice to get out. I have prob used up all my outings for the year in this weekend alone:). Hope you all had a lovely weekend as well.
