Glamour isn’t the usual feeling you get when you walk into an op shop.
Yet, glamour and style is a vibe you get as you walk through the wide uncluttered doorway of the Salvos new op-shop in Chapel Street, Windsor. The display is all about style, well as much style as you can have in an [...]

I visited the Red Door in Windsor about eighteen months ago (see here) and had lunch with a friend. The Red Door was relaxed and peaceful. Even though there were a number of customers the feeling was one of intimacy.
Last Saturday evening I returned with a group of ten people for an evening out. Fortunately [...]

Graff Art in Alma Park lifted my spirits on a cold dull winter morning. The wall that separates the Army Reserve buildings from the park are a magnet for Graff Art as well as what I think of as ugly badly formed tags.
This Piece is one of the best.
I love the colours, the execution and [...]

The Red Door has been operating in the same space for number years. I have seen the red door and the beautiful street art on the side of the wall but never visited until now. I’m not sure why.
A strong recommendation from a colleague prompted my first visit. She went on a week day evening [...]

Brighten up a grey winter morning and take in the Graf Art as you stroll along Chapel Street, Windsor. Of course it doesn’t have to be the morning, anytime during the day will do. But the in-your-face colours gives a me lift on a grey morning.
The corner of McIlwrick and Chapel Streets (at Tarlo and [...]

This notice is in Tarlo & Grahm’s current window display – I hope you can read it.
Tarlo & Graham’s windows are always fascinating to me. I have written about them before in ” Tarlo & Graham – view their windows”.
I don’t believe anyone else would decorate their window with objects burned in their fire.
This is [...]

W-class trams date back to the 1930’s.
W-class Tram at the corner of Chapel and Carlisle Street
A W-class tram was the first tram I rode in Melbourne. It was before I lived here and in the days when there was a conductor on board.
I clambered up the high wooden step and sat on a hard seat [...]

Tarlo and Graham at the Windsor end of Chapel Street offer a great visual feast with their windows.
Strolling around the Windsor end of Chapel Street is always fun but what draws me back time and time again are the windows of Tarlo and Graham.
I find I’m drawn on a weekly basis just to check them [...]

The Carlisle Street Bazaar opened just before Christmas adding another retail experience to shopping in the piece of Carlisle Street around the Balaclava Rail Station.
This Carlisle Street Bazaar replaces a store where I often browsed. It was one of those stores that covered an eclectic range merchandise – clothes, furniture, home ware, jewelery, gifts. All [...]

The Windsor end of Chapel Street is know as the funky end of Chapel Street, Prahran To me it is the fun end. I often pass Womango and I can never resist the window. It’s a ’stop and stare and stare some more and chat to your friend’ sort of window. It’s a collectors paradise.
Womango’s [...]
