Yesterday a couple of girlfriends & I decided to take a road trip. Daylesford is approximately an hour & a half's drive from Melbourne & is a small town famous for it's breathtaking scenery & natural mineral springs. It was so good to escape the city for the day & feel free as a bee. The phrase: "We should do this more often" was heard more than once, however this time I'm determined for it to be the case & feel inspired to explore some more!
First stop was
The Mill Markets. A friend had shared this treasure with me a few weeks back so I was excited to introduce my friends to the wonders it holds. Jam packed with antiques, vintage clothing, books, furniture & precious collectables this place quite literally left me speechless, no word of a lie I was like a child in a sweet shop on my first visit. It didn't disappoint yesterday either & I picked up a couple of dreamy vintage aprons & an adorable headscarf that called my name from across the room :) I actually defy anybody to visit & come out empty handed, I mean heck...even the bathrooms are stylish!
After our shopping spree we headed to
Lavendula, a Swiss Italian farm containing lavender fields, luscious gardens, a vineyard as well as olive & chestnut groves. We had a spot of lunch al fresco & enjoyed lavender lemonade & lavender scones for dessert. The sun came out to greet us & we even got chance to feed wild berries to the local Emu's Jack & Elvis.
Ahhh...Blissful!
