hot


it was 34 degrees today and i can't say i'm all that happy about it! the western australian in me is dwindling and i think i've started to enjoy the fresher weather of melbourne....nonetheless i'm sitting here with sticky thighs, flannel on back of neck, cooking a curry from a charmaine solomon's south east asian cook book (published in 1972 and found by me in an op shop somewhere) and waiting for K to get home from rockclimbing.

at swim two bird's beautiful crochet is providing endless inspiration........

do you ever feel like you are getting ripped off at an op shop? then you get home and you realise that you have a bounty of treasures worth WAY more than you paid and you feel all uncharitable and mean......

today i baulked at the prices in my local opshop and just look at these gems!

brown sandles / gold japanese writing on soles
wire basket / mustard enamel container
knitting needles case (not pictured)
two little doilies for a craft project
and the most amazing home handicraft book
