A Sojourn

This week I went with my sister for a little day trip to the Southern Highlands. We stopped at Mittagong firstly and perused the local antique and quilt shops. We then headed for Bowral in the most casual of fashions - after all, we were sans husbands and childrens! So to some lunch at Elephant Boy and then a meander along Bong Bong Street. We found the very gorgeous My Place, spent quite some time admiring fabrics and beautiful things until we realised that time was really getting away from us and we needed to cover more ground.

Our last stop of the day was Peppergreen Antiques. Even after numerous visits to this amazing store, I am still very overwhelmed by it. It is an antique store with department store proportions. Huger than huge. I delight in the extensive haberdashery collections, the linen - sheets, pillowcases, tablecloths, that cover a huge space, the teacups, the cutlery, the jewel, the vintage magazines. The above photos are from there.

Simple

Back and rejuvenated.


It's been a while, o.k. a long while since I last blogged. But my batteries are charged after a week down the south coast of NSW, enjoying simple things. Simple things like farm fresh oranges, driftwood, sweet babes and a little stitching.

It's been a fairly long hiatus and lots has happened between posts. We've moved from Perth back to Sydney and endured the trauma of doing such a move with school age children. We all loved living in Perth, so to leave was difficult for each of us. But we are two terms down the track and slowly but surely each of us gets a little more settled with our new surroundings and our fondness of Perth and our fabulous experience there, is firmly entrenched into our warm memory banks.

We are back and close to our family once again, and that is the biggest draw card. Getting together with cousins is full of mischief - it's so good to see them on a weekly basis.

I'm still sewing away over here and will show you what I've been up to over time and fill you in on our new chapter in Sydney and what's to come in the months to follow.
