LILO

I had heard about this gorgeous cafe from Dorothybills, but today I was witness to the absoloute gorgeousness of the place.

We met for coffee with 4 children amongst us but we did not feel out of place at all.  The children were welcomed with colouring pencils and toys, and to eat..... boiled eggs with smiley faces on them.

I can't get over how wonderful this cafe was, more than just a cafe, a complete experience.  Everything was green...... vintage green...... even the paper for the children.

I didn't get photos but I have found some glorious green items on etsy so you can get your emerald fix today also....

Vintage Green Vaseline Glass Basket Candy Dish Diamond Pattern with Applied Handles

Forest Green Bubble Sugar Bowl by Anchor Hocking Glass Company

Vintage MOD Flower Power Plastic Basket

Vintage green and yellow Thermos flask

Remember the name is LILO and if you are ever in Mornington check it out.....

P.S. Dear me! In my rush to post this I forgot to link to etsy for the origin of the glorious green glassware.  If you wish to puchase any of these grand green goings-on please search for green glass, green basket and green thermos in the vintage section of etsy.  My apologies again.....

It sounds like it might be worth planning an adventure in that direction just to visit that cafe.
Sounds like you had a great time.

So gald you liked it! I just love all the attention to detail, how they follow the 'green' theme all the way through the cafe, green tea cups, cake stands...right though to green soap in the bathroom, and so many vintage goodies to drool over plus yummy food and delicious coffee!

I think I may be seeing you in Mornington more often!

I can't believe I lived on the peninsula for 3 years and never knew of this place! I'll have to remember for next time I am visiting down that way.

Do you know the vintage material shop that was at Mt Martha? That place was something special too. I wonder if she's opened shop somewhere nearby...

Thanks for visiting my blog :)

I must remember to go there next time I'm in the area, I just love the idea of a kid friendly cafe with vintage green style.
