Lovely Launceston...

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I was holidaying in Tasmania but last Halloween I found myself in Launceston loving the art deco architecture and the vintage clothing stores (of course).



A visit to the CWA shop had been recommended to me. So there I found the cutest handmade bags, pots of honey, jars of jam and yummy looking cakes and slices.  It was like I'd stepped back in time to my 1980s childhood. I also checked out The Quadrant mall with its street-seller florist and sweet little shops full of handmade jewellery and more honey! It's Tasmania after all.





But the highlight of my Launceston exploring was Nanna's Vintage. This vintage clothing store/cafe is among the best vintage stores I've ever found. Everything was vintage right down to the adorable china cup my coffee was served in as well as the sugar bowl and the tabelcloth! It was tucked away at the back of the mall but Nanna's Vintage really made my trip a memorable experience. 





There's nothing like sipping a cappuccino in a pretty cup, surrounded by vintage clothes and thinking how glad you are to be miles away from work. And yes, I bought a vintage swimsuit. Although, I still wish I'd purchase that 1960s dress...
