its been the long weekend here and i guess if your house was not under water from the floods, then its been a beautiful weekend :)
we took a little driving trip to Maldon today to get some driving time up for Charlie who only has about 10 hours left before she go for her licence...
we checked out lots of little shops, secondhand [dear as poison] , arty and gifty ones...
we stopped by the old school which is now a cafe/gallery...
you can see how sunny it was....
a nice chai, chocolate cheesecake and an exhibition of paintings spurred us on for the next part of town...
checked out the lavender and lace shop....oh so many beautiful things.....
aren't the chooks cute...?
oooh a dresser full of laces so wanted to go thru it but we running out of time...
the floors were interesting too, flagstones and patched from old crates....
oooh and $1.00 chest, had a quick rummage thru that.
A few weeks i did an atc swap with the lovely Dot . i knew i would get something special back...isnt this atc just gorgeous, not only beautiful colors and textures but her embellishing is wonderful....i certainly wouldnt have the patience ....
she also sent some lovely goodies and one of her embellished stuffies she has been making...
loved it all Dot.....THANK YOU !!!
hello waving at you !!!

ive also had the computer woes this week but its all fixed [was a simple fix in the end] and my email is working again....i have recieved so many beautiful backgrounds this week too and think ive contacted everyone to let them know they have arrived.....there was lots of ooohing and ahhing at craft !
The Square Market is also on next weekend so it will be another busy week, hope you all have a good one :)
