new cushion + red hill vintage market

front and back of a new cushion made.......
not sure about you, have you noticed all the fluro colours with fashion etc??????
i have to admit i'm not totally into them for clothing { maybe the odd piece}
but totally loving it with decor

i bought this mustard fabric from the recycle centre and found some buttons i had lying around
and decided to use fluro pink thread {very subtle } but kinda cool and i like that the two sides
are different so you can flip it for  a change......

+ here are some photos of the red hill vintage markets
it is a new market just started up so we were at the very first one and it was loads of fun
the next one will be on sunday 26th august come and see us.......

how was your weekend??????????
we had a busy but fun one
had a pirate birthday party to go to
stayed with my cousins in hampton and kate made two beautiful curries for dinner
caught the train into the vik markets { haven't been there for ages }
met the cutest little baby tia who was born on tuesday { so a very new bubba }
had dinner at d.o.c yummmmmmmmm
thanks for popping by lisa xx

some treats + pics from 'the vintage shed'

felt wee bit spoilt last week with some treats, my girlfriend sylvia has always been a fan and supportive of my little business ventures, and knows how much i love cool old things, i visited my old stomping
ground in caroline springs and she had this beautiful print + clock for me......spoilt much
also my cute little neighbour betty {she is i think 92} gave me this cool as chair, love love love them all
again feeling wee bit spoilt + friend liane gave me this very cool crocheted apron/wrap {its been around for three generations} yay
.............are you a friend who likes giving gifts???????

+ some recent pics of twiceBAKED + rasberry kisses down at the shed {the vintage shed}
if you haven't been there it is a must so many treasures

+ some handpainting to add a wee splash of colour to a white dish

i would have done my blog post this morning but instead me and zekky went to the beach and
it was so so lovely my batteries feel recharged, the sun's been out all day
enjoy your monday evening lisa xx
