Trip into Fitzroy yesterday for some vegan eats, a cappucino, a dawdle around the streets and our usual haunts in Collingwood and Northcote. .... We love searching for finds in the local thrift shops and my heart beat quickens when I come across a gem.  Came home with a rare find - The Otterbury Incident by C Day Lewis /  illustrated by Ardizzone, then headed off to Northcote by tram and came across a small shop specialising in all things 'green'. Purchased  a recycled cotton dishcloth and the trusty redecker replacement brush head. Snap up the latter when I see them as I cannot purchase them out in the eastern burbs.
