spooky web..... images in strange places??

la belle miette

this gorgeous new macaron store is at 30 Hardware Lane, Melbourne.
It is the baby of Maylin, who has more than mastered the art of macaron baking,
my favourite is the pink grapefruit and the violet & blueberry.....
La Belle Miette is a definite visit when you are next in town.




Joost cafe at Circular Quay

my recent trip to Sydney was hectic,
a trade fair, a rock concert, dinners, and a quick ferry on the harbour which delivered us here,
at the Joost pop up eco cafe, it is positioned in the most spectacular position, on the water with the opera house and bridge framed perfectly as you sit and enjoy........

I went to Sydney



we all went to the tribute concert for Harvey James from Sherbet, his sons, (my cousins) played on stage with Sherbet, it was a hot, emotional, sweaty fabulous night at the Enmore theatre...

one of my quilts

I was alerted to these photos this week, by a lady enquiring about the quilt in the photos,
it is one of mine, and I love seeing where my quilts end up.
I think it looks great, and it seems to have gone to a good home.
