what a week phew + our new neighborhood

wow what a week......thank you all so much for your lovely comments, feeling much better and yes i did get around to having a glass of bubbles......
well as fast as the house sold, we are on the move, how good does the picture above look???? this is our new neighborhood, we will be renting for a while and investigate what we will do next either a reno or building again......

i can't wait to stroll down the beach, our new rental is a 5 min walk from the beach yay....
a very dear friend introduced us to mornington about 5 years ago and we loved it, i'm also looking forward to siffting through all the opp shops she's taken me to and the winery's oh yes loads and loads of winery's.....
so we move in 2 and a half weeks, and downsizing dramatically, so i'm ebaying like crazy and being ruthless, it's quite invigorating, hope you are all having a great week i've been missing blogging of late and yes you will see me again this week

our house has SOLD!!!!

sorry for my lack of blogging this week, it has been all systems go around here, we have sold our house and have 3 weeks to find a new place to live........mornington here we come!!!!!
i'm nervous and excited all in one, do you know what this feels like???? it's such a crazy feeling, not quite sure where my head has been the last week, it was a week ago yesterday that we had an unconditional offer on the house and a week later the deposit has gone through and the sold sticker is up...........i couldn't even have some bubbles to celebrate, i spent all day in bed sick........
{it's slowly sinking in} i'm going to miss this house we built, but need to look forward to our next adventure........hope you are all having a lovely week.......

refresh beauty therapy

refresh beauty therapy is a new blog to blogland, a very dear friend sarah is the lady behind refresh, she has all this amazing knowledge when it comes to skincare, food groups, etc......
i often wondered how she knew all this stuff, but i think when your passionate about something it flows from you, everyweek i seem to learn something new from her posts etc and think it's amazing having someone share all the things we don't know about.....thanks sarah!!!!
i know how you all made me feel when i started blogging and if you haven't seen her blog yet pop over and say hi here.....have an amazing day, the sun is shining here in melbourne today and i feel alive.....BLISS

beautiful knitwear

oh yes beautiful knitwear in one of my favorite colours at the moment........
the very lovely kimberley who comes to visit my ledamae stall at the flemington markets popped in a few months ago, her very cute little man had some gorgeous little gloves on, when i asked where she got them she said she made them......i immediately asked if she sells them, to my delight she said she would be happy to make my little zekky some, so i asked if i could get a scarf to match.......

i took a close up photo so you could see how perfect they have been knitted, a very talented lady thanks so much kimberley {if anyone else would be interested in a set, let me know i have kimberley's details}
i love meeting new and creative/crafty people, and to think i remembered kimberley because my first ever market she bought a little canvas from me........did anyone else purchase some lovely knitwear through the winter??????
hope everyone is having a lovely wednesday

today on madeit, this image popped up on the home page........i was immediately drawn to it and everything thing it made me think of.......
this very cool mixtape love necklace by osier, isn't it the coolest necklace and i love their story "this necklace is handmade in the spirit of all those mixtapes you made in highschool for your crust, who never really appreciated the secret lyrical messages as much as you'd have liked them to". 
very very cool osier!!!!!
tell me did you ever make a mixed tape????? and do any of you still listen to tapes?????
