To Market to Market all nice and sunny....

to buy me and Laura a pot full of Honey.

Yes thats what I went for  2 pots of  lovely Tea tree honey and  its so yummy. I have mine in my tea and on toast on occassion.I will never buy honey from the shops again.

My son Master 16 wanted to buy a blue budgie so his other budgie woudnt be lonely anymore so he did
His name? Napolean. Hers? Josephine of course lol and she isnt happy having a male in her life again either Poor Napolean.

I also had a Mary Poppins moment with this gorgeous vintagey umbrella for $1 yes faded in places but I loved it anyway are they redyable?


and this lovely vintagy looking  dress for $3 (she said she had never worn it and bought it about 10 years ago)
                                                 Brand - Trell Fashions,Sydney


                                                                          The top
                                                                The Bottom (isnt pink like pic shows)

Spent the rest of the day at park and drooling with LL over acreage properties on realestate.com.au  in the hinterland area of the Sunshine Coast (where me and LL would love to move but The Captain? not at all)
Note to self win the lotto!!! lol

So that was my day 2 days no crafting but I did teach LL to knit and she was easy to teach she is wanting to make squares and beanies for Kids in Africa she is starting with squares for now due to her beanie growing extra stitches and mummy not being available at all knitting problem times.

oh love your finds, the umbrella, if it is only a few 'stripes' from being folded how about adding some braid or lace or ribbon or.... something to the 'lines'

You taught the little darling to knit? She'll always remember you doing that for her - I love those moments:))). I'm gasping at the long-handled brolly - it's gorgeous!! What about Tin Can Bay or the outskirts of Gympie? xo

@Pull Your Socks Up! Dea Desiree the bolly is so cute wish I had kept my last one I think it had a bakelite handle (b4 I was bakelite literate).
Tin can bay (yuck) and hubby is attached to the coast so Gympie to far in for him.Hinterland with 1/2 hou to beach would be great and since we seem to have to do lots of trips to Bris it be better I said if we dont get loan for the build we ae moving down there,He is not a keen mover I am a gypsy!!
Let me know if you get this message.

Hello Nelly!
Well I am glad the lonely budgie has a new friend.

I need to get myself some good honey like that. Maybe I can find some at a farmers market.

mmmm teatree honey sounds delicious! The gown looks like it could be Steampunked easily by the right crafty person, pretty color! I thinkI'd be inclined to dunk the umbrella in some dye two shades darker, just make sure you have a large enough vat to do it in. The lines will show perhaps as accents. It's always fun taking a stroll about your life, Nelly!
Cheers!
