Tram to Tessuti (fabric heaven)

Rosie and I took the tram today for the first time. Only one nice gentleman offered to give up his seat (and not a young one at that). We were on a mission to go to Tessuti fabrics on Flinders Lane. Rosie kept busy with a box of toys on the floor and I had a wonderful time browsing the gorgeous fabrics.
They had a wonderful collection of Japanese sewing books. I'll post more on that when I get a project or two finished. The fabric in Tessuti is couture worthy. One bolt with white feathers was $179/meter! After feeling pretty clever for making our way downtown on public transportation we took the wrong tram home and ended up walking quite a distance. Getting back to familiar streets is always comforting. We stopped by Rosie's favorite park, had a good play and headed home. All in all a good day. Next time will be even easier.
