Friday I'm in Love

My five favourites this week:

1.  Family and friends. I love them all to bits. And since my last post my dad has turned 60, and my mum 21 again. Happy happy birthday mum and dad xoxo.

2.  Gin and icy cold lemonade. Very nice. Especially when my husband and I scrubbed down every inch of mould on our back deck. It made it all better.

3.  Op shopping.  I have found the best fabrics lately when sifting through Vinnies and Lifeline stores.  All they need is a good wash with some Napisan, plus the money spent goes right back to the community.  I've found lots of cute little ceramic owls there too, will post a photo later in Flickr.

4.  Globe Theatre.  My longtime friend Kristian runs really cool movies there,  like Sixteen Candles which we saw last night. They also play Rocky Horror, which includes Kristian's Cards For Sorrow floorshow group. Highly entertaining.

5.  Martha Goes Green.  This cookbook has changed me.  I've got millions of cookbooks in my kitchen, but none of them have been used more than this one.  I highly recommend the chickpea couscous salad, and serving it with a slice of fried haloumi.  And that gin and lemonade too. Mmmm.

Have a happy Friday everyone.

Wednesday

Today I bought this shirt at my local Vinnie's op shop for $3. Yes $3. I don't think I've ever spent so little on a shirt. I couldn't wait to get home and try it on. It made an exceptionally boring and horrible work day turn out completely lovely. It's kind of retro looking with a hawaiian flower print on the back, with little lace frills added to the front. I also bought some more hankies (which are in the wash now)for screenprinting which made the trip even better !! Did you have as lovely a day as me ? xo Teneale

brrrrr..... gotta get winter clothes out pronto !!

Poor babushka was very very cold today.

And so were the twin ducks. It's been so rainy, it rained more today in 24 hours in Brisbane than it has in 8 years. So so cold, and all the damn washing is still wet from yesterday. Urgh. Nevermind. So what was I wearing today? I tried on a new pair of mustard tights with my floral dress, which was followed very speedily with my woolly black jumper. But on a more interesting note is my handbag/bowling bag, which I love heaps more. It was a Vinnies find at Northgate, which has now become a favourite shop for me (I've also just recently bought a cute old brown suitcase there. Very into luggage at present). Op shops always seem to have the most interesting finds. Hope you like my first Watcha Wearing Wednesday blog. Meet me here again on Friday. xo Teneale
