Weekend market finds

I had a lovely time perusing markets over the weekend (Maribyrnong makers market and Finders Keepers). Very happy with my purchases::

Ink & spindle fabrics

inSync brooch

Notions hair slides

Cat Rabbit print

Been & Done vintage tea towel cushion (my talented sister!)

this week..

Things I want to achieve this week::

Go to the local playgroup for the first time (done!)

Sort out all The Boy's clothes into 'fits' and 'wow, I can't believe he ever fit into this!' piles.

Start a 'to do' list of fun things to do with the children (and also without!) to break out of the day-by-day living which comes with the territory of having a newborn around. Things on this list so far include:: going to the zoo, a family weekend at a beach house with my lovely sister and brother, having a G&T with a friend somewhere in the city, finding a nice little spot to feed some ducks and drinking a HOT cup of tea.

What are you planning this week? If you want to join in, head over to Vic's - fun on a bun!

I've been thinking a lot about what I could post and - here are a few things that I considered ::

Abigail Reynolds

Vivian Maier - Her discovered work blog

and the must for all tea lovers F**kin Tea (made me lol)

But right now my heart is breaking all over again - this time for Japan. There has been so much sadness, loss and devastation with natural disasters recently (and crisis of other kinds, like in Libya)- I can't even being to imagine what people around the world have been going through. So I am feeling thankful for my safety and that of my family and friends and prayerful for those in dark times. I also am hopeful all of you and your friends and family are safe and well too. xx
