On the weekend our friends LUCY IN THE SKY boutique held a flower making workshop at Pier 71.
A sold out room, lots of laughs and plenty of very impressive bouquets heading home by the end of it.
Pier 71 kept everyone fed and it was such a beautiful afternoon.
What do you think? Does Krystal and her team need to do another one?

This is one of the best parts of being a family restaurant.
You blink… and the little kids who used to come in are suddenly taller than Laura. ❤️
Jack and his family were Pier 71 regulars for years but moved out of the area. It was so lovely to see Jack pop in while he was back in Altona.
We couldn’t believe how much he’d grown.
