Monday op shop find

Today I dropped in to an op shop on the   way to work after a friend told me on the weekend that she had seen one of these and thought of me….woo hoo thanks kristy from  visionsofkristyemilia.

As you can see I love old colanders ,  two of these are my nana’s so they have sentimental value and I still use them daily.

This was what we had for dinner tonight, I know it doesn’t look healthy but it tasted really good !…..Hot dog sausages, cheese and bacon wrapped in puff pastry…..tasty !

This is what I wore on Friday,  and my new hair cut, it’s very short at the back…all the golden locks have gone.

Painted hutch

I had this hutch in my sewing room and i also have one very similar in my kitchen area that’s not painted, so while moving some furniture around I decided to swap them around just see if I liked it painted white…..I love it, and the other hutch will be painted at a later date ….Here it is…

It s pretty hey…makes me want to paint everything white.

I’ am going to start a dairy of  what I wear,  its a idea that a few of my favourite bloggers  ( Janelle wind and Mardi Winen) are doing…unfortunately they live somewhere  where its cold so they are able to dress up alot more than what I can,  never mind I will give it a go.  So this is what I wore today.

 

My latest op shop find , a cute little blue electric jug $5.00,  Ashleigh has here eyes on this on for when she gets her own home.

I can’t believe it, My manager gave me this old German manual sewing machine,  it is awesome , another one to the collection.

its cute hey.   Tan xo

Lucky week-end

I have had a great 4 days off..I went op shopping with Ashleigh and got a lovely dress $6.50  and a set of old white scales for $5 and Ash got some Pyrex dishes and measuring jug for when she has her own home for $4. Bargains !!! I love op shops .

I also went to my favourite shop “Bed Bath and Table “ and bought  the most amazing soft cuddly throws, I bought one each for Ash, Ryan and Bree …they love them.  Ash and I also went and had sushi together, which is the one thing we always try to do when I have a day off….A bit of one on one time with just her and I makes a big difference to our relationship.

I had my new pool pump installed thanks to my neighbour, I paid $420 at a pump place instead of $750 at a pool place,  so it pays to shop around, I saved myself $300. it is so quiet I keep checking to make sure its still there, only because the old one was loud because the bearings we dead so I ran it until it seized up and died.

On Saturday night my  friend Cathy came home from 8 weeks in Brisbane,  she was down there receiving Radiation and Chemo for a Tumour that they had removed whilst doing a hysterectomy.  I decorated the craft room and all of the girls bought a party plate of food and we surprised her as she walked in……we had a great night just sitting around talking ( no sewing got done that night),  it sure was great to have her back home with us.

Welcome Home Cathy !!!!   xoxoxo

Today (Sunday) I went too Ronelle’s  Nutrimetics Party,  I had a bit of a migraine until the lady doing the demo gave us all a back and shoulder massage with hot rocks…..well that was just what I needed !  So after that off I went into town to get some of these rocks from Bunning's.

After that I was invited to go to a fundraiser Barbeque to help a local family that had lost their house and everything they owned in a fire,  Tara and her family as usual  put on a awesome party and raffle,  I decided that I was going to buy $20 worth of tickets only,  so out of that I won a bottle of Vodka and a box of Nutrimetics face creams.  I also donated one of my quilts to the little girl , she is only four years old.  So once again I had a great day !!.

I also this afternoon planted Lettuce’s, Parsley, Coriander, Cherry Tomatoes in my new vegie garden.    I also bought a passionfruit, I just haven’t decided where I’ am going to plant it yet.

I would also like to welcome Cooper-Dean Asher Rhodes born 1st June 2011,  congratulations Tara  and Todd.  you did a fantastic job Tara  he is beautiful.  A little brother for Jesse-Jay.

Ashleigh and Ryan are in Buderim with my mother,  staying at an Aunties place.  They flew down for a family reunion, and also a great opportunity for Ash to see Ryan,  she has not stopped texting me since she left, her and Ryan haven’t stopped talking which is wonderful to hear.  I can’t wait to see Ryan when ne comes home for his 21st.

That’s all folks !  tan xo
