Desirable suburb !!! Paddington in Queensland

Five months... have passed!!

Since I moved to Brisbane;-)from Sydney...

Brisbane is smaller than Sydney, but there are a lot of places "DESIRABLE"

So,

I'd love to put the nice suburb " Paddington " in my basket ^^

Quiant street w blue sky

The quote from Wikipedia is as follows,

Paddington is an inner suburb of Brisbane, Australia located 2 km west of the Brisbane CBD. As is common with other suburbs in the area, Paddington is located on a number of steep ridges and hills. It was originally settled in the 1860s. Many original and distinctive Queenslander homes can be found in the suburb. Houses are frequently built on stumps, owing to the steep nature of their blocks. In recent years, Paddington has become a very desirable residential location.


And also it's famous for antiques things, nice cafes and small shops.

Treasure hunt !!!!

I enjoyed having lunch, shopping a cloth at a tiny shop and having a couple of coffee and cake, having a look at beautiful kitchen wares shop.

Lovely homeware shop "

" du Monde "
Love it !!! Especially I could smell beautiful basil & verbena from the " Positano "candle.
