silver trays + thanks "j"

the very lovely janette from "my sweet prints" mentioned me in her post yesterday {thanks "j"}
about a silver tray i sent her and how you can paint them see here, after seeing her post i thought i hadn't shared any of my ones, i started a little collection {but really how many do you need?????} hehehe

i do have three throughout the house at the moment, first one above is my white one i painted for $5.00 {trash n treasure} with jug/sugar/teaspoons/T2

this round tray i picked up for .50c {trash n treasure} and has pepper/pink flake salt {from the murray river}/measuring cups/vase

and my third tray i got for $2.50 {salvos} with candle/vase/tealight/photo of my beautiful niece georgia

do you have any silver trays at home and what do you have on them??????

i love seeing, hearing how others decorate etc.......

mothers day 2010

wow what a fantastic mother's day first i was off to the camberwell markets then coffee and a delicious slice at my dear friend lissie's....

then greg and zekky took me to the ferris wheel down by the yarra first we had wine, cheese and crackers and of course zekky had potatoe chips then zekky had a run around playing hide and seek with dad....so so adorable to watch, although he didn't really like mummy trying to play as well

so it was off to the ferris wheel we went, the last time i went on the ferris wheel was on mother's day 3 years ago, dreaming of having a baby of my own and this time i was on the ferris wheel with my son and greg the view of the yarra from the wheel was beautiful and having my boys there with me was the icing on the cake.....but wait there's more my day didn't finish there

and last but not least we ended up in the fitzroy gardens laying under the amazing big trees, it is one of my favorite things to do. ever since i was a little girl, watching the clouds through the trees, dreaming, imagining, wondering of all the possibilities...........


(while greg looked after zeke of course)
then to top it off we got kiwi fish 'n' chips with watties tomato sauce and the famous (only in nz)
L&P


i hope everyone else out there had a wonderful day whatever you ended up doing!!!

laverton markets

this is my first time blogging oh how fun.......... saturday, 13th march if you’ve never been to the laverton markets in laverton, vic of course, you are missing an adventure, Rubble & Riches Market .....i often try and get in early to nab up any good bargains i can find, this morning i was on the hunt for old bird cages, silver plater’s and frames, i love strolling around watching people frantically searching through piles of odd bits and pieces, it makes for excitement. i noticed this morning the different aromas wafting round, people freshly showered (i love it) some drowning themselves in perfume you can smell them miles away (get me away from here) and loads of smokers (cough cough) no it’s not that bad.......hot dogs stands, coffee stands (hello) was such a lovely morning i came home with 1 tray, 2 frames, 2 birdcages, map book, bike for my son zeke and a box of chalk all for under $35.00 thank you laverton. might see you next week.
