At the time the all the nickel trim was painted black and there was that much dirt and grime on the surround it wasn't until we started to clean it, we discovered it was black glass - very exciting afternoon that was. Inside the windows they had very old grey carpet and a wire cage thing in them, very fetching to passers by...
This shot is really about the glass component, taken through the day so lots of reflection but it is our very first window display.
Certainly glad you guys are there now! ;-)
ReplyDeleteTrying to work out from the reflection the shop across the road. BTW can you recall who were in the shops (borh sides of Brisbane St) from West to Ellenborough Street when you moved in??

Hi gIL, yes I think I can cover most of that, on my left was Fabrics Galore and right was H20 Babies. H20 moved and then Underworld Games (which was at the time occupying our shop)with it's new owner they relocated next door - freeing up 197 Brisbane Street!Where you are now was vacant after a white goods rental business closed, then Deann's opened. AWL. Before Mortgage Choice it was a cheque cashing place. Vintage Advantage was yet to open, it was vacant. Cross Stitch operated in full capacity and not long after we opened Gemutlich opened up in the front part of Cactus.
ReplyDeleteAcross the road Players, Harcourts, Crystal Rock Cafe, Ray White, Vacant and the Bridgeworks.
The reflection is the original exterior of Players.
