Brassica Oleracea ~ Ornamental Cabbage that I got from the market |
My favourite thing about visiting Auckland City is that it has a little bit of everything and there is always a new shop or cafe that has opened up.
After having a lovely breakfast with my dear husband at the Governor, a new cafe in Herne Bay, and walking back to where the car was parked, saw this shop.
Father Rabbit is a quaint shop that has lovely merchandise, household goodies and gifts, the sort of things I love.
The philosophy behind the brand, is an appreciation of simplicity.
Also that things should be done right or not at all and to strive for perfection, embracing tradition, routine and order { which is a good way to live by.
The window display was lovely with the large white hare and the moss green plates are a favourite colour of mine, along with pink
Hope you are enjoying a wonderful week so far and have a great rest of the week. Thank you for the kind visit to my blog and I look forward to coming over to say hello to you.

I love the ornamental Brassica Oleracea Carolyn, who would imagine that cabbages could be so appealing. Father Rabbit is one of those enticing shops that are impossible to on walk past.
