Rounding off the week

A snippet of the week that was. 
I was happy to visit inspiring BOB Boutique and say hi to the lovely Sonia. Gleaners Inc in Brunswick yielded a beautiful heart necklace -a gift from my love. Ciders at The Union Hotel in Fitzroy. Breakfast at Birdienumnums with a gorgeous little family. A few treasures picked up along the way and of course some street art.

Sunday too soon....

Our weekend has been a fun one. We indulged in some family op- shopping fun. Number 2 wears strictly Cotton On, Supre and any other mass produced low quality company that teens go mad for. However she was really into finding funky stuff and items that no one else would be wearing. I witnessed her light bulb moment. 
She was super happy to get some cool things. 


There was also donuts, a picnic, happy pets, movies, garage sales, sleep-overs and head banging at Battle of the bands.


Is it Sunday afternoon already?

Smiling again

I am a firm believer in the Universe looking out for us, the good old ask the Universe scenario thingy. Well yesterday the Universe gave up the goods! Maybe as a due reward for the crap-ola time I've had this week.

Miss red legs, Rosie and the Roadie

This week number 3 and I went on a field trip to South Australia. The morning began with a pleasant car drive, unfortunately dotted with millions of locusts that are currently plaguing the region. Rosie the Rav looked very dirty and covered in locust guts! Sweet things came our way once we started our procuring expedition. The first of many op shops yielded some sweet fabrics and an adorable unfinished long forgotten long stitch of a frog. I was impressed with the 50c racks at a church run op shop (often my most favourite as they are non-corporate and offer the best prices) This one had a sizeable magazine collection also which proved good pickings. I am searching for articles to develop my garden to grow winter vegetables in no dig garden beds, so naturally a pile of home magazines came home with us. Lunch was at an alfresco bakery and we were on the road home shortly after. To break the monotony of the return trip we stopped on the roadside and took some photos, purely for the purpose of amusing ourselves. I managed to capture the most beautiful photo of number 3 and we had a gorgeous day together. Thank you Matilda Violet
