Last week we left on a little bit of a journey to attend a party for one of my niece's who lives in Armidale NSW (I think there's one in Victoria as well). Thursday saw us leaving all packed up with whatever warm clothes we had (the weather forecast was quite a lot different to the 29 degrees we had) and meandering down the highway to Toowoomba where we stayed the night. We were lucky to get a room as the Carnival of Flowers was on and we had a quick walk down town before heading back to the room where it was nice and warm and the restaurant served up a lovely meal. Just out of Toowoomba is a lovely little place called Highfields and it has a great village feel and a lot of little craft shops that are fantastic to browse. At one spot called the Village Green they have a grouping of shops and a great cafe that looks out over the side of the hill with outdoor tables on the grassed area. It also has the best patchwork shop and a scrapbbok shop that has a good range of papers.
And if you like beading just before you get to Highfields there's a shop called The Danish Flower Art studio (or something close to that) where they have a huge amount of all different beads and some giftware as well, definitely stop there. All of these shops are on the main road so you don't even have to detour just pull in.
I'm running out of time today so I'll continue tomorrow but I'll leave a photo of the birthday girl.

We visited Highfields when we went to Toowoomba :) I didn't find the scrapbook shop you mentioned, but did find another group of crafty-type shops *bliss* :) We also went to the Floral art place - I was in "bead heaven" LOL
