This morning I climbed out of bed and saw the coolest thing trotting past my window - yes trotting. It was one of the old fashioned horse drawn carts that clip clop around the city, which I suspect are stabled nearby. I always feel sorry for the horses' hooves, but they DO make the coolest noise and make me think of ye olde North Melbourne.
Speaking of, my dad recently found this picture amongst the archives of an old Ballarat newspaper. I love the typesetting and the old fashioned wording! Any guesses from the locals which building it is? (It's grandiousity is a wee bit exaggerated - look how small the tram is!)
Also, a bit of pattern design WIP:

Thats so funny, they clop past our place also!!
Ace new patterns. That rag and bone get back to us all today/tomorrow?? mmm fingers crossed for some pocket money!!
Such a beautiful sound. I remember milk being delivered by horse and cart to my grandmother's in Kew when I was a very little girl. It would always wake me, and I just loved it.
And I know how old that makes me sound.
Designs are lovely, as always.
hmmm. that looks a lot like the shops along Errol St, near the town hall.
And if you read the text in the right hand corner, it actually says it's on Errol St!
Shannon: Heh, that's mad! Small small world :)
Shula: That's very, very cool. Milk delivery in itself is a cool concept, but by horse and cart, that's so cute!
Tali: Yup, it totally is! It's actually the building where Rubicon and The Lithunian club are :)
