We had three nights in Port Fairy thanks to
the van breakdown and replacement (I’m telling you – it was the best thing that could have
happened, our van breaking down! Our new van is SO much better) and it was a
great place to be stuck. We loved the beaches, the great town centre and the
quirky nature of some of its shops and cafes.
The girls and I walked to the Port Fairy market on Saturday morning (very sweet with lots of local tradespeople. We bought some delicious raspberry cordial that tastes of real raspberries) and on the way home we stumbled on this fabulous used bookstore/art space. We could have lost ourselves for hours in it. (I also wish we could have bought the Mad Hatter chair for us – it was so special.)
The art exhibition was really clever - the artist is inspired by passages from books and draws the illustrations right on the books. The artist is part of a collective called 'Urban Sketchers' - I want Indie to join! This is the blurb from their website: Urban Sketchers is a network of artists around the world who draw the cities where they live and travel to. Our mission is to "Show the World, One Drawing at a Time." How cool is that? Check it out.
