Tuesday's heat wave and brooch making..

Just when I thought summer had subsided, they say that Victoria is in for its hottest week since 1908, with 43 degrees here in Mildura tomorrow. There is certainly a heat wave around here, I think everyone is just trying to stay cool and sane. I hope everyone had a lovely Australia Day, we spent the a delightful afternoon relaxing by the Murray River. Back to work tomorrow, the students start back at school on Friday so hopefully the weather will cool down a little before the madness begins.

I've had a busy day today shipping off my weekend orders. Thank you so much for your support for my new collection of brooches. They are almost sold out so I have been also spent today making a few more to fill my little shop and creating a delightful little custom order for the lovely Emma Lamb.

Orders ready to be packed in lovely brown paper bags.

My afternoon's work..

Here is a peak at a few of latest little creations, you can find them all in my Etsy shop now.

I heart Brown Owls..

I heart Teapots..

I heart Jane Eyre..

Before I go to find a lovely spot under the air conditioning, I have to share with you my favourite Etsy find of the day. A Fanciful Twist is one of my favourite Etsy sellers and I just adore her beautiful new prints, 'The Seamstress-Magic Maker' and 'The Treasure Collector'. All my favourite treasures together, so very lovely.

'The Seamstress-Magic Maker'

'The Treasure Collector'

I hope you have had a lovely Tuesday and if your in Melbourne, find somewhere nice and cool to sleep tonight. Remember to drink plenty of water and if all else fails, perhaps ice and a bath tub might work well.

With love from the desert...
