A delightful weekend...

Posted on 12:42 AM by fdgdfg
I believe that the weekend is officially the best time of the week and has it been a long week! Thank goodness I have finished writing reports, all that is left to do now is a wait to see how many mistakes are found, hopefully not many.

Its been a lovely weekend. We've been very busy tripping around antique stores and having lovely French hot chocolate under the winter trees at Pleasentrees. We had a fun night at the local Irish pub for a farewell/birthday bash for some friends from work. And today has been all about checking out lovely patterns and wool and catching up with Courtney on the phone. So here are some photos from my weekend adventures...


The beautiful lavender outside 'Rose Harvest Antiques'

The beautiful entrance that reminds me of the secret garden

We always have a lovely time at Rose Harvest, the rooms are just brimming with amazing things but today it was right out the back in the shed that I found my little treasure. I have been searching for an old ink well ever since I found my lovely quill. And look what I found...

I just love the ink stained would and lovely big pots. I've found a lovely spot for it on my dressing table. Now I really feel like Jane Austen.

Later in the afternoon after our weekly grocery shop we went out to 'Pleasentrees' French wares nursery. We had a lovely time wondering around the gardens and sipping there amazing french hot chocolate. It was just like chocolate from the film Chocolat. It was just beautiful. And I couldn't resist a few little cards and tags.


We had a bunch of fun last night, listening to a bad Melbourne cover band at the local Irish pub.

The gang from work
Not sure how far into the night it was but we all look very cheerful!

After all that fun and shopping its been a quite day today, lots of checking out patterns and lovely blankets. Courtney and I are just fascinated by Moonstiches and her hexagon love!

It's such a work of art..

Now I just need the time and patience to make one myself, I would really love to create a wall hanging. Its all I have been thinking about today... All those beautiful colours, what fun!

Now I'm looking forward to sitting down tonight and working on a beret for my sister. Been very inspired to get out my hook and create some goodness.

Hope everyone has had a l0vely weekend, looking forward to seeing all my family in a week tomorrow!
