Poor ole Dave! At least he knows you are in the 'odd' club! perhaps he needs to know I'm in that club too! I'm sure that is my bike?<br />The carpet beater looks fab, but I hope your mum won't use it what it was originally intended for. We have had so many positive comments about our goodies bags! the smells were divine! My car was a wonderful smell for a good couple of weeks.<br />Oh those turkeys!

Had to smile at your Turkeys, I thought New Zealand only had chooks that wandered around the place! I remember stopping the car somewhere up north for the Mum Chook and her chickens to cross the road.Now Julie if someone started talking to me about M Cross I would have asked him if he wanted to come and help with the vacuuming.<br />Enjoy the rest of the week.<br />Bev.Bev Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01779873950474515819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802941287301708633.post-6331562603486391782014-03-13T12:08:31.327+13:002014-03-13T12:08:31.327+13:00What a lovely mix of everything on your new post! ...What a lovely mix of everything on your new post!

I can't imagine going to a "turkey shop" & saying I'll have a dozen of those please! They're quite ugly really aren't they! So if they came in the gate do they wander up & down the road normally?!!<br />I do love your "E" especially set against the red background. I thought for a moment there that you were going to say that the rug beater had come out of the cupboard to beat the cushion...great pattern anyway. Love it. Gosh I got stuck with two old coggers this week bending my ear, but I didn't get more than half a handful of beans out of it, no I lie, & some hazelnuts. Fantastic to be remembered as the odd one, at least there were no competitors for the trike then. I do adore straw flowers...the colours are all so lovely. That wasn't very nice that they called the latest cyclone Lucy!...does look like we might get some rain over the weekend though..here's hoping.

Well I guessed it may have come from you. I have the lemon one and love the perfume whenever I walk past. Kerryn had a wonderful celebration and the guests were very spoilt. Kerryn, Leeanne and Raewyn had worked so hard to make the shop look outstanding. Hopefully you will get to see it soon. I am so glad you hung in there with the cushion, it looks wonderful, love the doily in the centreBarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961760035751936640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802941287301708633.post-86468218511693346072014-03-12T17:35:03.546+13:002014-03-12T17:35:03.546+13:00Lovely post, Julie :-) The back shed smelt delicio...Lovely post, Julie :-) The back shed smelt delicious for several weeks with the pot pourri stored in there!!!!

After some garden work and going to try my hand at making "Ruby", I am so inspired by all that you do! Thank you for your posts.

I can just imagine the smell of the house after that batch.<br />Very lucky ladies to have a friend like you. Especially the stitched bag filled for your girlfriend. How lovely.<br />So glad to hear the second round pillow worked itself out. I think it should be called crafters mouth instead of sailors mouth, lol<br />agree?<br />I was laughing so hard over that one.<br />And then your story of your hubbys friend, but oh gosh it must have been worth it for that trike!!! What a score!!<br />So fun to stop by today Julie.<br />Take care<br />AmyVintage Market Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05506584020887579178noreply@blogger.com
