Shadow Shot Sunday #11

This week's shadow shot is a little late as I am madly trying to get everything finished in time for the BrisStyle Indie Designer's Market next Saturday. I did get an opportunity to visit the Brisbane Vintage Fashion Fair yesterday with my husband Tim, Aidan and Dad. We had a blast trying on funny hats and laughing at all the crazy safari suits. Aidan scored a pair of cherry docs for $20, and I bought some cute buttons. On the way back through the fruit and veg markets Tim bought me some gorgeous yellow gerberas (i love yellow). To join in the SSS fun, head over to Hey Harriet's blog. And here's a sneak peak of what I'll be taking to the market next Saturday.

My new sign

Some little Ninjas, with a Crazy Terry keeping them in line. An Angry Bunny is annoyed as he has no travel buddy. Little does he know.... Ok sleepy bye time for me. See you all again hopefully on Wednesday. xo Teneale

This Sunday I'm going to continue the theme of graffiti. I took this shot on a train track of some graffiti hiding in the shadows of some trees. If you would like to join in the SSS fun, head over to Hey Harriet's blog to find out more. Happy SSS everyone. xo Teneale

Friday I'm In Love with... Graffiti

This Friday I'm in love with graffiti. Not the scribbles you often see on someone's fence, which look more like a drunken autograph than a piece of art. No, I like this type of graffiti.

Shadow Shot Sunday #9

It's getting very, very cold in Brisvegas. Even my budgie Fish is rugging up this winter. He still talks like mad to his mirror, probably criticising the poor food and service but it does sound nice to us. I just realised I need to prepare some cupcakes shortly for a destashing day with BrisStyle tomorrow, so thought I'd get my shadow shot in early. These were taken in East Brisbane. I drive past these trees each sunday on the way to soccer. They're starting to lose their flowers and leaves as it's getting colder. I forgot to post some beachy photos yesterday too from Bundy. The beach was so nice, Aidan and I had it all for us alone to explore. Don't forget to pop over to the BrisStyle blog to enter the giveaway this month. This month's members are Strat Designs and Raspberry Pink. There's plenty more giveaways being held on the blog too !! Happy weekend everyone. xo Teneale

Bundy visit

Last weekend I went to Bundy with my mum and brother Aidan. My mum was born in Bundaberg, and had her 40th school reunion on Saturday night. We did a bit of reminiscing too, as you do on these sorts of trips. This is the house my mum lived in. My poppy lived there till he died in '93. There's been many changes over the years, but it's still standing. My poppy's brother's house wasn't so fortunate, it's now a Woolworths in Childers (as we found on the way). We also visited Sebby, who is godmother to my mum and my two aunties Donna and Karen (pictured l-r my mum, Sebby, Donna, me). Sebby used to live in the house behind my grandparents house. My mum told me how there was a gate in the fence between them, and mum would always be at Sebby's place reading all their books in the spare room. I've always wanted to learn crochet, and Sebby was very keen to teach me. I didn't get very far in it though, too many crazy words like double crochet and treble crochet for me to remember in a 1/2 hour visit. It's amazing how fast a 92 year old can be. I loved this little brown owl tea cosy she had made. I'll put some more photos of the lovely beach on my blog this Friday. And this Wednesday I am wearing my teddy bear dressing gown and fugly boots. I have such a horrible cold I was sent home from work. Gosh I love winter. Grrr. Goodnight everyone. Teneale xo (aaa- chooo)
