Op-Shop Wednesday

On Wednesdays, when Mein Spatz is at Kindy,
 I spend some time looking around the local charity shops...... all by myself.......it is so relaxing....
I.LOVE.IT!
I have a good eye for the best things and thought I would start to share some of my treasures here.
Firstly, a lovely bag for Summer,
that matches my hot pink Birkenstock, from Witchery $5.00
Look at the lovely contrasting lining.
A large jug, made in Portugal. $5.00
Ideal for Summer drinks..........thinking, maybe Pimm's and lemonade.
A cute little frame with a saying worth living by. $2.00
An old fashioned jelly/blancmange mould. $4.00
And a cute little silver (stamped with the blue-glass insert) salt cellar $0.99   I know.......Sh!
Finally for Mein Spatz, a boxed collection of Winnie-the-Pooh favourite stories.
75th anniversary edition $5.00
 More next week.

Lemon Butter

 I am feeling very full of myself this evening.
I made my first batch of lemon butter.
Here is the recipe

I think , if I can get my hands on enough free lemons, this will be our home-made gifting for Christmas.
So......... hands up if you are in Adelaide and have lemons on your tree.

Right on our door-step

-
       
This is Carrick Hill 
A wonderful place to visit all year round.
Sometimes it is so quiet that I pretend it is mine-

"One shall take Gin and tonic on the lawn". 
"Who is up for a round of croquet?" 

 The terrace is made for rolling.
 
 
Do come and visit one day.

Friends

 
 
Mein Spatz had his friend Miss S around for dinner and a play.
Miss S loves dressing up and performing. 
They dressed up and danced to German Beer Hall Music.
Miss S is a great balance for Mein Spatz.
He can be very grounded and serious she lightens him and gives him support to fly.
Just what friends are for.
