WINDOW SHOPPING - a cool way to spend time and no money

Okay couldn't put in the dog photo will have to learn how to do this but check out my http://MissLillianPetal.com/


This great dog is called Louie and I met him today whilst I was doing some extremely serious window shopping at Birkenhead Point shops. There are a little set of shops in Hinemoa Street from about number 80 to 120 that are very special.

It is the cutest little nook of shops and a couple of great cafes and a very special tea shop.

Now first of all I will talk about the tea shop who serves lovely cups of tea in proper china cups with saucers and plates and old fashioned club sammies and home made goodies to die for…..what a treat – plus they also sell old fashioned sweeties like black balls….oh oh oh went into a total spin the most lovely place to have a meeting with a potential beau or with a couple of your coolest friends or just by yourself. “The Tea Lady” at 100A Hinemoa Street, Birkenhead Point. A mum and daughter have this as a little business and everyone should try this experience the interior has lovely old 1950’s and 60’s furniture and tables and cloths….OMG stunning -

Now there are other great places to see and look into Primrose Cottage on the corner – quality gifts to treasure – yeah rite! I saw at least 30 things I wanted and will put a photo in with their plaques on the back wall just as a taste of whats inside this shop. Romantic roses made of silk through to beaded curtain tiebacks – kewl kewl stuff.

Then I went and saw my friend Karen to have a chat and a coffee as she was helping today at Sway Boutique at 94 Hinemoa 09 480 8989 – will put in photos that I took of some goodies the clothing is perfect for anyone who likes taste, style and great clothing reasonably priced – in other words not Ponsonby prices…sorry Ponsonby but you do have more expensive prices even for a coffee….lololol Didn’t get a website addy for Swag so just turn up and look and buy…..I’ve got my eye on the colorful frock you will see below in the pics. Also they are currently having a SALE so get there toot sweet…..
