The past weekend was nice and relaxing and included a day trip to Windsor with the girls (above at Simon's cafe for breakfast). We were there to spend time with Agnes who is getting married in November. The day unexpectedly turned into an antiquing trip where we visited a
Salvos store and various antiques shops (one of my fav things to do). At Salvos I picked up a couple pair of pretty earrings (see below), some buttons and get this a set of 1950's Japanese tea cup and saucers (with matching dishes) for $10! I was just looking at it through the glass cabinet (completely in love) and without even haggling, the lady (God bless her) gave them to me for such a cheap price.
Other things I found but couldn't justify taking home with me included this immaculate retro chair in my fav colour (also matching the blazer I happen to be wearing hehehe) - I sure hope it finds a good home. Here are the pretty earrings and buttons I've made into hairclips with bobby pins.
In the antiques shops, I saw so many beautiful furniture, crockery, cutlery and even clothes but of course I couldn't afford anything well apart from the pretty gold with the pink stone brooch above.
Here is
Lyvonne antiquing :o)
After all this we settled for a lovely courtyard lunch (with live music) at
Sassafras Creek in Kurrajong. The place is pretty cool in that it is also an art gallery with a gift shop. Here is

I should mention that while I was out spending the day with the girls, hubby found us a car! he's just the best :o) We are so thankful for God's providence over our life for all good things come from his hands. Thanks girls for a great day out and special thanks to Mary for organising :o)
Enjoy the weekend!
