My very favourite place to be on a Saturday morning Pleasentrees is sadly closing down, so we went out for our very last hot chocolate and to check out their old barn full of beautiful French homewares.
The best hot chocolate ever...I have had my eye on one of their Louis XVI style bedroom chairs for so long and with a bit of coaxing from my lovely friend Joelene and even my hubby, I finally bought it to match my little antique writing desk.
My beautiful new chair...I was so delighted, I thought my day couldn't get much better but on the way home I decided to stop at my other favourite spot in Mildura, Rose Harvest to buy my friend a birthday present. Last time we were there I spotted an amazing old type writer but didn't really ever consider buying it. I went back to the same spot and it was still there and again my dear hubby said, I know you want it, you will never find another one, just get it. After a very long,10 minute wait to see if a couple that had it on hold still wanted it, the typewriter was all mine. A 1908 Remington Standard 10. I think I'm in love....
And it actually still works! It makes the most beautiful sound, like the beat of a classic writer dreaming up their first novel.
Other then my fabulous antique adventures I have been busy filling my little shop with plenty of new brooches. A big thank you to CurlyPops for the lovely feature on a couple of brooches I sent her, including one of my favourite custom orders I have done so far, I heart chocolate. She is super sweet, take a moment to stop by her blog and say hi.
I've just put ten new brooches in the shop and although two sold very quickly there are still many of my favourites there, including:
Tea Cup Collector
I heart pirates.. aaarrrr!
I heart Bookworms (inspired by my Saturday Shopping List)
I dream of Wuthering Heights (Oh Heathcliff!)
A big thank you to by bestie Courtney helping come up with some of these new phrases. The rest of the lovely new collection can be found in my little shop.
Well I'm off to enjoy a lovely Sunday night, got to love a husband that can cook. I hope your weekend has been wonderful, whatever you have been up to. To all my fellow Aussies have a wonderful Australia Day, I'll be listening to Triple J's Hottest 100, going for a swim and enjoying the last of my holidays. What are your plans?
