The Rocks

Posted on by ghotiindustries

We spent the most wonderful day rediscovering The Rocks Markets. There is always so much to see and do there, it is a hubbub of colour,

and possibly a little pandering to the tourist dollar!

It has extended since last I was there, around the Argyle Centre and down Argyle St. (which has been blocked off to cars. How long has it been since I went to the Rocks?!?)

We managed to procure a few bags from one of my favourite designers Pretty in Pink. I think I’ll need to purchase some lounge pants and possibly a kimono from her before Summer really kicks in too! And her aprons are to die for!

It is a wonderfully creative market, and the emphasis this week was on designers and Summer fashions.

It was ridiculously inspiring and made me want to pull out my sewing machine again! (It’s been so long) But there’s something for everyone!

At the end of the day, when the hubbub threatens to overcome, you can always meander in the direction of some of the oldest pubs in Sydney.

Love where you live

There are many things I love about where we live.

We are lucky enough to be surrounded by a multitude of some of the best cafe’s in Sydney. Whether you’re looking for a good coffee, tea, chai, or just an all day breakfast on the weekend, there’ll be something to suit your tastes.

It’s a creative community. You don’t have to look hard to find places where the local colour shines through.

But, would you like to know one of the many things I love about where I live right now?

Start a new blog and then life takes over and you’re unable to work on it! But it’s ok, I’m back. I also have tales of my travels to regale you with!

I went exploring in my local neighbourhood yesterday. There is so much to see and do here.

The Orange Grove Markets were a flurry of excitement and a blur of colour. So much to see, so many beautiful things to buy.

They are an organic farmers market where all the local growers come to sell their wears, but over time have grown to be so much more!

I would happily have bought a selection of these hand-made bowls.

There’s a thriving cottage industry.

These cards were sculptural and architectural wonders!

And the orchids were calling to me, asking to come home with me.

Little do they know how little luck I have keeping plants alive! If they did they may not have been so eager to come and live at my house!
