We met up nice and early at The Nicholas Building and caught the lift upstairs, to begin with a visit to Buttonmania. We ooohed and ahhhed and looked through boxes of buttons before finding a few that we loved, and making some purchases.
Next stop was Kimono House. There were so many beautiful fabrics to choose from. I chose a couple of lovely fat quarters.
I've given one of my fat quarters to Hollie, and she is going to use it to make me a gorgeous Hokey wallet!
We popped in to Lincraft at Melbourne Central to pick up some matching thread and then it was time for a coffee/tea pitstop and of course, a bit of cake.
We decided to head down to Degraves Subway next.
We checked out the current art installation....
By this time, the very excellently unpredictable Melbourne weather had taken a bit of a turn for the worse. Our next stop was supposed to be The Rooftop Market at Curtin House, but alas, it was cancelled. We drowned our sorrows with a visit to the Metropolis Bookshop instead.
The time had flown by, so it was back to the city to make our departures. Last stop on the tour, Max Brenner for a chocolate fix....need I say more!

What a lovely day indeed.
My kinda shopping day! Did you get to say hi to Miss Pen Pen at Cottage? And the Gertrude St arcade, it wasn't Arcadia was it? I heart Arcadia! Best breakfast roll ever!
Oops that sentence was meant to read "And that Gertrude St CAFE"...but you knew that right?!
You girls got around - that's a lot of stops! Looks like a fantastic day. I must go and visit Buttonmania sometime .... it sounds fantastic.
Wow. What an action packed day. I'm green with envy.
Wow, what a day, I am also jealous! Not sure you could have a day like that at the Gold Coast! Perhaps Spotlight, some op-shops and a coffee then you would have run out of things to do and wished you had gone into Brisbane or Fortitude Valley. Hmm... why don't I live in Melbourne? :)
What a fabulous day! Sounds like my dream day in the city!
