Comments on: Donna Hay General Store, Woollahra http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/07/10/donna-hay-general-store-woollahra/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

It used to belong to my great grandparents John and Hannah Holdsworth who lived at number 38 and ran a general store from number 40 for many years. I visited some years ago when it was a different store, but haven't yet managed the trip to Sydney to see the improvements. Look forward to it. I'm sure great grandma Hannah would be looking down and smiling ! I am so happy that the store has been revamped.

There's no excuse then not to pick up some PB sticks! ;) Hi Betty-Hehe it's true isn't it! Yes that chair is so cute! Hi Julia-Yes there's something for everyone it seems! I had a pistachio macaron. Yes it was a good macaron although as I've made them I just wanted to try it :) Hi Tara-Ah yes I can imagine! Ikea is great for kids! Sounds great! Sorry to hear about it but I'm sure you'll find some lovely friends :) Yes Steiner parents seem to be a bit more alternative so something healthy is definitely in order (hubby went to one and I just asked him) :) Hi Cakelaw-Hehe yes who knows when she'll open one in Brisbane! :) Hi Trisha-Hehe it's quality not quantity I guess? :lol: Hi Ellie-Yes how cute is that chair? Although there is a sign "Please do not sit". Yep sounds like a good girly time! Oh no, not fair! Hi Chris-It's been years since I had a wax straw-they're such a blast from the past! Hi Faith-It's lovely isn't it! Hehe yes you've got to love a store with a whole display of them :) Hi romaverona -You're welcome! :) Hehe it's even cuter in real life!! Hi Megan-Hehe ahh so it's less tempting! :) Hmm well the Lindt ones are half the price but I'd say as good as so the Lindt one wins on price (and it's slightly larger too from memory) :) Hehe it's universal I think! Hi shaz-Yes the cupcake liners are really nice here, especially the French pleated ones. They had two sizes and the smaller ones fit my pans. Yes food is always involved! Hi jane-Yes perhaps one day! :) Hi isLa-I know! We thought that it would be totally busy if it were a cafe! :o Hi Belle-Funny you ask, I saw your pics so I thought it was ok and I talked to one SA who didn't think there was a problem with taking pics. Then we went upstairs and I took some more and then I was told that photos weren't allowed so I stopped then butby then all the pics were taken. Those stand up placemats are gorgeous. And I like the twine too! Hi Ja-But I think you get quite a few in a pack? Does that convince you at all? :) Hehe who knows! Hi Simon-Perhaps she'll invite you over to sample one? Hi lindsey clare-They were really good and I'm told the peppermint bark is also good! Aww perhaps they do mail order? Hi Steph-Hehe cool! I knew I'd find kindred spirits here! ;) Hi Gab*-I know, how nice are wax straws? I bought two lots of cupcake liners :lol: Hi Einna-Thanks! I asked one girl downstairs. Yep food has to be involved in some way ;) Aww what a shame but I'm sure it won't be long til you find some more! Hi Sophia-Hehe cool! It's her first one I think :) Hehe yes I felt the same way! Hi Alexandra-It was the perfect way to end off the way :D Hi Nachiketa-Indeed! :D We did thanks! Hi Y-Oh cool! It's open on Sundays too if that helps ;) Hi Christie-Hehe of course I had to! ;) Hi Sihan-hehe Donna therapy :lol: Aww what a shame, the inside (as well as the outside) is nice! :) You're welcome! Hi Trissa-Sorry I have no idea but if you search for similar pate sable recipes I'm sure you could get a rough approximation as long as you compare quanties :) Hi Anita-You're welcome! :) The macaron was good I have to say :) I bought some and I think they ranged from $10-$12? Hi grace-Hehe but look how cute it is! :P Hehe yes start off with the chocolate! Hi Tina-Haha yes it's a fun cycle though! :P Hi Sophie-Yes it's a really cute store :) Thankyou! Hi anna-Yep sounds like a great plan! Although I'm not great with walks (heels put paid to that). I like the idea of travelling for good food! :D Hi Kim-Oh cool! You're welcome :) We did indeed! Hi Arwen-It's open on both Saturday and Sunday if that helps :) hehe that's true although the patty pans are very reasonably priced. Hi bec-Ahh great idea! I love it :D Hi Teena-Yes you need to get those in while you can! ;) Hi lisa-Maybe one day she’ll open up some more! :)
