OMG! We’ve finally found a new shopfront. So excited. The fatigue this pregnancy has been BRUTAL. So we haven’t been hunting as much as we’d like.
We’ve actually driven past Georges a few times and were down the road at the park with our toddler so finally took a photo. Don’t you love that 7 digit number?! The fish’n’chips here are meant to be pretty good too!

We can't believe it's been SO long since we posted. Pregnancy, chasing after a toddler, sickness, and a mad November/December meant time flew by!
So here's one of our favourite Coin Laundries, which is still a laundry, but it's a lot more drab! Found on Grey St, St Kilda.

Georges Hamburgers, what a treat! Such a cool old hamburger joint, with great burgers too. Found in Bairnsdale on a road trip to Marlo.

Sorry, we've been a bit off the radar. September is a bonkers month with birthdays and other events, throw in general family sickness, and the month flew by!
We stumbled across this milk bar a few years ago in Murrumbeena. We were happy to find out it's now a cafe called Jack the Milkman, but it still has the Milk Bar and Groceries sign 😍

There’s something charming about an old-school dry cleaner. Stumbled upon this gem in the bougie suburb of Sandringham a few years back — and it’s still going strong! It's great to see spots like this hold their ground.

Who doesn’t love a good country bakery? We always stop here for lunch if we’re going to East Gippsland. This fantastic bakery was found in Maffra. Cute little town!

Sorry it’s been so long between posts, the last couple of weeks have flown by! When you’re looking after a little human, keeping the house relatively clean, cooking and trying to be social time flies!
We found this one when we were in Sydney last, along the main drag in Newtown. Isn’t it great!?

Edithvale Fish'n'Chips. One of our favourite shopping strips and a hidden gem down this way. A couple of great cafes, bars and eateries and a great beach! And also some great old shopfronts 😍

This is such a well thought out shopfront and business name. We've never actually tried the food, but I'm sure it lives up to the name! Found on Albert St in Preston a few years back. I love the bold branding.
