Off to Scrub Stitchin' - Day 2 Leeton - Part 2

After the lovely morning wander my mission for the afternoon was to get inside one of the Art Deco buildings...the Roxy Theatre...restored and run by volunteers I was lucky to be in Leeton on a day when it open and showing a picture in the afternoon...there was an opportunity not be be missed......it's beautiful on the outside...
The SunRice Festival was the week before (over Easter) and, as part of that, the windows of the theatre had been used to showcase miniatures of local buildings and history and the display hadn't been taken down yet...
 
Then inside...gorgeous!
The details everywhere...the picture was "Six The Musical Live"...a filmed live West End performance of Six The Musical with the original cast...what a hoot! The perfect setting to show a West End musical...almost but not quite being at a live theatre show.  Not a hard way to spend a couple of hours!
 
Happy Stitching...

Off to Scrub Stitchin' - Day 2 Leeton - Part 1

I planned more than an overnight stop in Leeton to explore the area a bit...but curtailed again by the diesel situation the planned excursions were put on hold and the stopover became a 2-night with one full day in town, rather than a 3-night with forays around the district. The motel in the perfect location I didn't move the car from from check-in until check-out, walked everywhere.
 
Leeton is an art deco town, there are lovely buildings everywhere...and to add a bonus to a town I already liked a lot...there is a patchwork shop! It was just a bit too late when I arrived in town Friday so I hoped she opened Saturday mornings and, yay she did. Still on a mission for a "something" to add to the Scrub Stitchin' swap present, which was successful this time, I may have accidentally found presents for me! Resistance was futile! Ha ha ha
Then a couple of wanders in town...
A pleasant way to spend a morning and late afternoon.

Happy Stitching...
