mainly because it cost $19.95 and I've already bought 3 (much cheaper) black and white tea towels in the past week (on top of the ones I got for Christmas...)After a quick stop at Albury to fill up we drove on to Wangaratta where it was time for lunch.

Scribblers in Wangaratta not only has the perfect colour scheme (although I did have to swap my original red chair for a black one, much to Happy Spider's amusement) but is also just across the road from Sackville & Lane (purveyors of fine wool, unfortunately closed on Sundays) and a few doors along from the intriguing looking Lost Sock Office (also closed on Sundays.
