bbrrr..feels like the winds are coming from the antarctic, but the sky and ocean are clear, the beaches deserted apart from the die hard lap swimmers and surfers.
bronte was a once sleepy little beachside suburb now known by some as bronte carlo due to its stunning coastline and rising real estate values. many cafes to choose from overlooking this... a good spot for a weekday lunch for our son's birthday, without the weekend crowd.
the bronte tram once travelled from bondi to here along bronte rd where later i visited the shop named after the old tram.
a gorgeous antique, vintage furniture and homewares shop that adds some history and charm to the area. i love the masses of chandeliers, french style furniture and interesting collections.
serendipity
- when someone finds something they weren't expecting to find or
"happy accident"
suits the shop

ReplyDeleteI love your photos! I also wanted to let you know that i featured your hibiscus flowers on my top ten fav picks this week at Boogieboard Cottage! Blessings, Mary :O)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics Cheryl, the bronte tram looks like my kinda store. Would love to go there. Have a great day! Leahx
ReplyDeleteIt sure is chilly out there alright, I'm thinking that I should have extended my holiday in New Zealand because it was warmer where I was than it is here - and I never thought I'd say that!! This shop always intrigues me but I'm a little afraid to go inside lest I see something I desperately want for the NZ cottage that has no possibility of fitting into the suitcase when we make our trip back in the summer. However from your photos I can see they have some nice smaller things too so when I feel brave enough to drag myself away from the heater I just might pay them a visit.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Thanks for the tour.
ReplyDeleteMy cousin lives in Bronte so next time we go down and visit her I am definitley shopping there! Thanks so much for telling me about it.
ReplyDeleteTry to enjoy these short and cold winter days...summer will be here before we know it!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
