weekend update... well i spent my weekend in many different ways .saw friends friday night for drinks and dinner, ended up having dinner at Mr Ls mums which was nice and had heaps of laughs, shovelled concrete at Mr Ls mums place saturday( heaps and heaps of it) did some motorbike riding , went to the sunday markets at ferny grove,went out to samford to check out houses, took some photos at home, cooked roast for dinner... all in all it was good, relaxing at times, hard work at other times.

the markets were a fantastic idea!. i spent $30 and bought 11 items of clothes ( witchery, wish,miss shop, fcuk, esprit) and 2 massive pieces of vintage fabric.
i am extremely happy and it was so warm sunny and nice out in the autumn sun.

bike riding was good, i was a bit naughty and wore my black volleys instead of my normal proper bike boots. i can tell you kevlar lined pants in australia really do suck. if we did ever crash least my skin will be in tact. i noticed the gateway now has point to point cameras being installed, kind of sad when you think about it. cameras and anti hooning laws dont do anything but create angst amonst motor enthusiasts, general population. to stop the carnage on our roads we need to educate . that right there is the key . education. take a look at europe, free range speed limit roads and a road toll we will never ever come down to.


im really happy about the markets.. bargain central.

samford is sooo nice, weve been thinking about a move, away from the ocean and townhouse thingo and into a more relaxed rural house setting, still close to brisbane. currently we live 30 kms frm the city on beachfront. so samford and surrounds wont be too far.
i wish our block of land was closer., but the move to central coast nsw isnt an option right now, so i suppose the animals and irds can take care of it for me while im not there :)


the sewing wasnt even attempted today, whoops!.. but with some new vintage fabric im sure ill feel the urge tomorrow or the day after. i just didnt have time to sit down with maddam janome today.

i hope the photos are well liked? let me know what you think.

ive stuffed myself silly with roast chicken tonight, i even let the cats have some, and i was left speechless when Mr B and Miss L ate their broccoli and exclaimed ' mum we ate everything' ... wow... good job guys. i love you.


well thats my update i shall leave you with photos of my 2 fave buys today, one white shirt and a red cardie, its actually more a ceramic red colour but the photo was crap. i think i need a new compact camera...


thats all peoples.. night and best wishes for a new week love danielle

today i saw some tulips... they were $10 a bunch, ive never actually seen purple ones, so i grabbed a purple/pinky-fuchsia coloured lot.. heres the photos...

these are the other photos i took the other day while playing at the tribune.
apparently my photos are liked, so here's some more .

to anyone who is looking, reading etc... i am very grateful. much love

danielle

just a quick before bed post to say how totally blessed i am in life.
i have love, i have life, i am a mother to 2 beautiful children. i wake up and see the ocean everyday. waking up is a gift i dont understand why more people cant feel that?..
night world. thankyou for every blessing i have ever been given. thankyou for the love that overflows in so many ways.

sweet dreams world

i spent a bit of time with my gorgeous friend leah today, at her work, the tribune, in the valley in brisbane. i took the chance to photograph some of the fantastic clothes and shoes, and even bought some heavily reduced gorgeous shoes myself( photos to come soon...)
i adore this necklace and the feathers on this dress are devine. i had heaps of fun and fingers crossed they feature them in their own blog :)

MWAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I HAVE CONQUERED BAKING!!!!!!!! with gluten free flour that is... i made a banana and blueberry loaf with gluten free ingredients, and it rose! it was fluffy! it looked NORMAL!!! most people who bake 'gluten free/ wheat free' will tell you getting something to rise is like getting jesus to rise frm the dead, impossible...

i have photographic proof, risen loaf stuff... as you can tell im excited :)
