Lavender Friday

Colourful Friday is Lavender - being hosted by http://kaingahappenings.blogspot.com/ for the month of november.

Most of the lavender colours we have around our house are flowers ;-)

We have one lavender bush, mexican glory, and a rose called 'blue moon'.  The agapanthas is in the BIL garden.  Cards and beaded bracelet were handmade by me ;-)

11-11-10 - Lest We Forget

Not the Craft Fair, but better ;-)

I decided not to go the Craft Fair yesterday - I couldn't stand the thought of the crowds and all those prams and wheelie carts.

But I went on a crafty shopping trip anyway ;-)

I went for a drive to the new Gepps Cross Spotlight - let me say, I love my little Clovercrest, the staff are just great, but the Gepps Cross store is about 4 times the size!  It is so well laid out and organised and so VERY neat and tidy and the staff are GREAT too!

I got some great fabric and bits and pieces

I picked up a colour guide - hopefully, it will help me in picking my fabrics

great aussie sunburnt country browns & golds

navy & white and grey & white

fat quarter bundle - I don't normally like greens, but I am quite taken with this combination.

After visiting Spotlight, I went on a mission to locate Need4Bead - a new store opened up close to me.  A friend recommended I go and have a look.  Let me tell you, I was most impressed with this new store.  Staff were great and most helpful. 

I only spent $20, but I got all of these!

It could be a dangerous thing with a bead shop now so very close - only a 10 minute drive ;-)

Quilt & Craft Fair - Adelaide

I will be going to the Quilt & Craft Fair in Adelaide tomorrow.


I even have some 'spending money' leftover from my birthday and have been making a 'wish list'

Anyone else going??

Weekend Away with the Girls

Hi everyone,

I have just got back from a weekend away in the Barossa for a mini school reunion with 10 of my primary school friends - some of us have not seen each other for 35 years or more!   We stayed at the Barossa Valley Tourist Park, which was much bigger than we expected and the cabins were clean and reasonably well maintained.  In fact, THIS was my actual cabin for the weekend.

The weather was a bit cold and windy, which is a bit unusual for this time of year, but it did not dampen our spirits.  We ventured out and about anyway.

We visited Maggie Beer's Kitchen and got to taste some goodies.  The Burnt Fig, Caramel & Honeycomb Ice Cream is just GAWGEOUS!  See my other blog Cathy's Kitchen for more pics.

Saturday was spent sightseeing - we went to Maggie Beer's , Angas Park Fruit, and Wohlers. 

There were some beautiful rose bushes out the front of Angas Park Fruit - the most gorgeous red.

Sunday came around far too quickly and it was time to go home  **insert sad face here**.  

It was a great weekend, but I am glad to be home, back in my own bed ;-)
