ikea goodies

During my (supposedly) quick visit to Ikea this arvo to get some "storage solutions" for my creative space, I found these groovy melamine plates and tray - cheap and most definately cheerful!!

day 5 - red & green

Two of my favourite colours ...

Speaking of red, my calico square arrived in the post from kootoyoo for the redwork quilt project.

My goal today is to get my creative space sorted out - at the moment it is just a pile of storage boxes on a table. Wish me luck!

Have a good day!

day 4 - pam's garden

Today's pics come to you from my lovely friend Pam's garden ...

Check out other pics of the day at The Byron Life ...

day 3 pic - classic curves

I love the colour, chrome and curves of this 1965 Austin Healey Sprite - it is a happy little car known as the "bug" in our house. Our little mister thinks it's the best toy he owns! You can see what everyone esle is snapping as part of a photo a day in August, by going here. Hooray for sun in Melbourne!!

a photo a day in august - day two

Today we took a roadtrip to Castlemaine, which was lovely (except that I forgot my camera - doh!). We had lunch at The Empyre and then wandered around admiring the lovely buildings, farmers markets and shops. I found this great glass stopper for my collection - yay! The other big find was Fashion Central which houses some great designers and a lovely little teahouse - the apple cake was second to none. Of particular note was a great little store call Habadash which has all manner of vintage buttons and bit's and pieces - I'll be heading back there next time I need some lovely vintage buttons to finish something off! It was a good day. Hope yours was too.

a photo a day in august .... day one

I am joining in with the fun over at The Byron Life and posting a photo a day in August. I found out about this great idea over at the TinnieGirl blog - thanks! I can't wait to see everyone's happy snaps. Here is my offering for day one on a rather gloomy day in my garden in Melbourne ... I just love the shape of these lillies.

Have a great Saturday night!
