Secret Treasure Trove

On Saturday I discovered the gem that is 44 Stanley in Milpark Johannesburg. What used to be a whole lot of industrial buildings and dilapidated workshops, has been turned into an inspiring little boutique shopping experience. You can amble through all the speciality shops and little cafe's and restaurants while taking in all the artistic beauty that surrounds you. The original 1930's architecture remains, which just adds to the quaint beauty of it all. Here you will find something to amuse even the most discerning of tastes, whether it be vintage interiors, high fashion pieces or freshly baked goods, whatever your poison 44 Stanley has the antidote for you! I will most definitely return and will keep returning until I have eaten my way through every restaurant and browsed every corner of every store. I left there truly inspired.

{The restaurant we ate at, Il Giardino, I had a delicious pasta with mushrooms and parmesan cheese, followed by Lindt chocolate mousse, was divine! }

{spying on the people outside, don't you just love people watching?}

Unfortunately my camera died on me, so I didn’t get too many shots of the outside and all the little stores. Oh well, all the more reason to go back.
