I am one lucky girl…
I have someone in my life who is my friend, sister separated at birth, soul mate whatever you would like to call her. She is someone who just knows what I love and gets me involved and amongst it!
So on Thursday morning we only had a few hours together before I had to return to the very adult responsibility of working, what do we do? We go on a treasure hunt on the very well know and appreciated William Street in Northbridge.
So this so called treasure hunt wasn’t complicated, and you didn’t have to dog your friends to win, you literally just follow a map and collect prints.
A taste of what there is to find…
(Above) This is my favourite.. by an artist known as squirrel.
Kinda cute isnt it? There are 22 to collect.. but unfortunately it is already the 3rd of December! Windows on William was only to last until November 21st to coincide with the Northbridge Festival.. but I assure you these prints would not have been thrown out, I advise you to have a squiz at the Map , remember the shops and go look in their windows or on their counters :) there is still time!
Now for MY Wonders on William
I would like the publicly voice my fascination, and appreciation to the Kakulas Brothers (as well as its sibling in Fremantle). If you haven’t walked in there yet, simply do it. If you have feel free to leave a comment discussing what you love (or don’t love) about it. I will start it off… how so many of the products are in large bags and boxes.. there is something so nostalgic about it.. it really strips the art of food shopping and the whole experience down to the core.. something we have too easily forgotten. And the smell… god I love the smell in there.
Fi and Co's change room is showered with pictures of my sister modelling cute indie labels – cant tell u how much of a surprise that was... but Fi and Co gets a mention because I really just love the clothes in there and the woman behind the counter with short funky hair is beautiful and fun.
At the advice of a very good friend, the further you go north on William... the cheaper you can buy your mee goreng.. in BULK at asian grocers.. take your pick!
And finally, is it too bold of me to say that the very cute, modest Little Willys (267 William Street, Northbridge) cafe is now a place of choice to eat because of the beautiful man behind the counter taking our orders.. oh yeah and they have wicked breakfasts with Bagels!
Before I finish.. im just letting you know this was only my first write up on William street, there will be many more to come in the future.. and if you've got suggestions for places I need to check out, tell me! I love the advice :)
Over and out.
:)
