This is a very special shop in Werribee Plaza. It sells some of the most beautiful and unusual items I have ever seen - glassware, ornaments, fountains, decorative items, artwork etc. A place you could browse around in for hours and keep finding "treasures".

The particular squee-worthy moment for us tonight was walking past and finding incredibly life-like guinea pig ornament/statue/models. There were several other animals like rabbits and monkeys, but the cute little guinea pigs just winked at us with their shiny glass eyes and dared us not to fall in love with at least one of them.

We did that, and took home a beautifully crafted, lifelike (right down to tiny toenails and sculptured fur) ginger white and black piggie for only $10.

The shop attendant even packed her in a little carry box complete with hay and airholes. Then we took her into the pizza shop and were asked if it was a real animal in a rather suprised tone.

Not for small children as there are a lot of breakables in this place, but definitely a delight to visit.

Approximate cost: $10
