It is a stunning shopping centre created within a historic building, the Queen Victoria Building which was completed in 1898 as a monument to Queen Victoria. It was threatened with demolition in the 1950s but survived to be restored to its former glory. It takes up one entire city block and has many great boutiques and coffe shops.
I will be going on holiday with Nina http://minimumm.blogspot.com and can't wait to find out where we are headed.
I must get working on my surprise for Janne, some others have already completed theirs!

ReplyDeleteMargaret,
ReplyDeletedort im Victoria Building gibt es tolle und sehr schicke Sachen. Da war ich auch schon... und mein Geldbeutel hatte danach stark gelitten. Viel Spaß wünsche ich Dir.
Liebe Grüße PuNo/Monika
I like the idea of a shopping holiday, but will have to be satisfied with an imaginary one at the moment.
ReplyDeleteMonika, good to hear you have visited Sydney, it is a while since I have been to the QVB, I will have to go there in the real world before too long, for a little window shopping.
I would really love to be there again!!! Just next to the bridge in the harbour of Sydney, I can see Luna Park!!!! I spent my childhood in Sydney and how my sister and I enjoyed goint to Luna Park!!!!

Hallo Margaret,
ReplyDeletethis shopping center would knock me down, this is not the right for me.
But yes, I will go to the Northsea and invite you to go with me.Very good, that it is new for you, ( I just read your comment on my blog ) so you will get surprise. ( Sorry my english, sometimes it is adventurous ) I will post a lot of pictures until the 14. 7. and will write something about visiting the northsea.
I have fun.
Please look for your emails.
Many greetings from Germany
Nina
I would really love to be there,I have not been there before. Can't wait to se what you're preparing for me :)
ReplyDeleteYour blog is amazing, I like it so much. You're very talented!
Looking forward to the holidays!

Hi Margaret,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you visited me on my blog and thank you so much for the nice comments on my babies. Yes my favorite is Amanda too. I sculpted her from a picture of my daughter when she was a newborn. I just love the little 5 inch to 8 inch dolls. They are my favorite to make because you can dress them up in cute outfits and if you get tired of that outfit you can dress them in another. I am working on the miniature babies too. They are a bit harder to make but turn out so sweet. Come back and visit me anytime. I have enjoyed looking at you blog it is beautiful.
Seguro que este intercambio es una gran exito, Catherine es una gran anfitriona.
ReplyDeleteEstoy deseando ver el regalo que haces y el que recibes.
Buena suerte!!
besitos ascension
It is hard to believe such magnificience as the Queen Victoria Building was left covered and unloved for so long. It is always a must for us when we come to Sydney. :) Luna Park is the other. Coney Island is a place out of time, yet enjoyed by my children as much as me when I was a child and my parents before me.
