Merry Christmas from Melbourne

I now work in the heart of Melbourne and it's been fun seeing all the decorations each day.


There's even been some fabulous Christmas yarn bombing on the city's tree trunks.



I love this year's Myer Christmas windows display. It's based on a book about a dog getting lost in Melbourne set in the 50s/early 60s and includes such Melbourne icons as a tram...



...and Flinders Street station.


The dresses remind me of the ones my mother wore.

Wishing all my readers, followers and fellow blogging friends a safe and Merry Christmas. I'll be be back soon to show you my wonderful Christmas prezzie, something that any quilter would love - can you guess what it is???

  4. I heard the queue at Myer is huge! Looks like it's worth the wait though.

  5. I was in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago for work, but spent most of my time at UoM so missed a lot of the Christmas displays! Merry Christmas Carol - can't wait to see your gift!

  6. There are definitely some perks to working in the city - how lovely to see these displays! I know just what you mean about the dresses - takes me back too - and a lot were hand made of course. Happy New Year! - not too early to say that I hope...

  7. It's so strange to see so much green at Christmas when everything is so white here. Those knitters really go over the top--very cool and the windows are so fun. I can't wait to see your present--hope it was a wonderful Christmas!

  8. I remember wearing dresses like that! I have a Christmas picture when I was 12 wearing a brown plaid dress with full skirt way below my knees, when everyone at school were wearing mini skirts.
