Le Carnivale

The carnivale came to town this weekend, well to be more correct, to the Mordialloc Beach Primary School. Their annual school fate fund raiser was held this post yesturday. And what a lovely day it was.
This was not just your average run of the mill school fair, this really is a lovely and well planed event with activities and entertainment for all ages. The event featured a rock wall climb, chair ride, mini jeeps, jumping castles, performances by local school children, showbags, games, numerous market stalls and a special area called "secret womens business" when one could be pampered with beauty treatments and henna.
I totally recommend you mark next years event in your calander.

A Table for Two

This weekend seems to be the weekend for the annual church and school fates. Today the local Catholic Church held there's. Outside the church hall , as always was the $2 sausage sizzle, with it's under-cooked snags, blackened onions and ice bucked of salad dressings, whilst inside could be found an aray of secondhand goods, old books, baked treats and tables of mysteriously labeled "potted plantings".
This year, running in a shed just behind the church was a nifty little garage sale, selling some really nice old furnishings and homewares. I was quite chuffed to find this cute little garden chair. Now my outdoor settings has a place for two, replacing a chair which was stolen when i still lived in South Yarra some years ago. Very Nice!!

Pretty Summer Dresses for Cold Spring Days

Brr, this past weekend was cold, so cold and yucky i had to cancel my weekend plans away, sadly and i was looking forward to having a few days off before the Market craziness and Christmas chaos gets into full swing. Alas it save it for another day.
Instead i used my time to mess around with some lovely vintage sewing patterns i recently purchased from eBay and the really awesome retro fabric i found at one of the many local op shops. This little summer cutie is only the second dress i've ever made. Now i'm looking forward to the summer holidays when i can wear it out and when i have the time to make some more.
