Housewarming: Bowl Covers

Shower caps?

When I was out buying the plates, forks, cups etc I came across these bowl covers.

I have seen them used at parties but never in a shop!

Good idea to help keep any flies at bay.




I guess you could use shower caps, but there are a few different sizes in a pack!

Busy Weekend

It was a busy weekend with 4 more tonnes of soil to top up the garden beds.

That takes the grand total of hand moved landscaping materials to 42 tonnes (good work Brett)!




Before: you can see the bricks under the fence.




After: more soil bricks covered!




We also got some pink cordies.

We also have some more green plants coming too (today I think).




Here is the garden bed out the front a of couple months ago.




And now look at it. Starting to get bigger and should be a sea of pink and purple in no time!

Note the plant in the pot was left by one of neighbours - so nice!

Glass coffee table to give the illusion of more space!




Black fur cushions with the zebra one!

Spoon Rest Quest

I had been on a quest to find a kitchen spoon rest.

This is what I ended up with....




Went to so many places & stainless steel spoon rests were sold out.

I found this brand new one on eBay for less than $20 (inc postage).




I am very happy (and so is the white stone benchtop).

Totally WAC!

My sister and I took at trip to the Woolloongabba Antique Centre (WAC) in Brisbane.

To get inspiration, to see what antiques were priced at (for our ebay shopping experiences) etc.

Some really fab stuff there – worth a trip! They even have a café.

The set up is that of individual sellers under the one roof.

I just purchased this lovely Glamor Chandelier Wall Decal for the WIR in high gloss black!

Can't wait until it arrives!

I hope this one dosen't take as long to put up as the entrance decal did!

The old one I had wasn’t stainless steel and I had it for about 10+ years so I thought it was time to upgrade!
