simple things

hi..how was your weekend?

a relaxing one here with a walk at the beach, brunch at one of the cafes around the corner & a saturday afternoon movie, all within a few minutes of our place.

i missed the garage sale trail on saturday. but did manage to catch the ending of one and bought myself a lovely old checked blanket, just like i had on my bed when i was a kid. 
were you out on the trail? any good finds?

..some random things i've been doing over the past week or 2. 


loving camelias & these little bottles 


some plain & dull bedside tables i gave new life to with white paint and glass crystal knobs. wishing i'd taken the before photos. sold on ebay.




my little shadow bella 
so proud but a bit cautious of her catch of the day 
- a dead spider


jewellery making with anchors 


stamping anchors & glueing little shells i found



my new old blanket


enjoying the simple things

  2. You know what I love about that blanket. Pure wool and no chemicals like they use today. My mum wanted to throw a whole lot of these out and I wouldn't let her the quality of these things are fabulous and they are also usually Australian made.

    I went to a large garage sale in a school where there were hundreds of stands. Enjoyed it very much.

    Have a great week

  3. Nice blanket and wonderful side tables you found on ebay. I always love to see a photo of Bella. I caught up on blogging this weekend(finally) and cruised around with my grandchildren.

  5. That blanket brings back memories of my childhood - we had the exact same blankets when I was a child, growing up in Australia!
