Queen St Mall is the main shopping district of Brisbane and is no different to the malls/main streets from Abu Dahbi to Zagreb.Top shelf Tiffanys and Chanel to 'down the stairs' basement tat!
The one good place to check out is the Brisbane Arcade, which is comparable to the Strand in Sydney or The Block in Melbourne. It has small interesting family shops in a historic setting. It was built by the Mayne Family and is now held in trust for a Foundation, with all profits going to medical research.
Here is the Tea Shop with their fantastic window display, however, not the place to take a child or a bull.

Such a huge array of tea cups and saucers! I won't be taking my bulky handbag in there on my shoulder either! Very impressive range of designs!
ReplyDeleteWow! I don't think I've seen so many teapots, cups and saucers in the one place before! Good shot!
ReplyDeleteI would be afraid to get close to that display for fear of knocking something over!

Wow beautiful selection.
ReplyDeleteMellow Yellow, have a nice week ahead!
That little loan yellow one really stands out. Bet the blends of tea are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe Tea Centre! - Am I right? Nice place to have a little break from walking around the city, or a little date with friends :)
ReplyDeleteI'll take earl-grey tea in that elegant buttercup yellow tea cup thanks Mark - what an interesting shop I'm sure I could do damage to my credit card there and with the proceeds going to medical research it would be a guilt free transaction.
ReplyDeleteMY wife would love it there, she collects mugs. I am now your follower.
ReplyDeleteHearty Yellow, come see.
Beautiful capture. Have a fabulous week.

Marvellous collection.
ReplyDeleteI would have a great time browsing there! Some of the teacups on the top look rather large...Anyway, happy MYM!
ReplyDeleteOh yes I love that arcade. Don't remember seeing this shop though. The cups all look modern.
ReplyDeletewhat a collection! i like your caption too!
ReplyDeleteIf you could not find the right tea cup here, you would be in trouble. Lots of pretty blues among them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these beautiful blue cups.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday, Mark.
I love those selections!
ReplyDeleteColorful puzzle is my entry, please come and see. Have a great week.

Have you read The Mayne Inheritance by Rosamond Siemon? It was the book for One Book One Brisbane in 2003.
ReplyDeleteThey're so cute but the yellow pot really stands out:)
