sunday = pancakes
i’ve ordered some new baby props from this talented girl – one of these & an earflap hat. can’t wait to use them at my next baby shoot!
jodi at MCP actions recently blogged about some of her favourite photography & photoshop books – well worth checking out!
speaking of books, i finished reading Goodbye Jimmy Choo today – i enjoyed most of the story, but thought it was a shame it ended so abruptly. this book by marian keyes is next on my reading list. it received some great reviews at amazon & sounds like a good read!
although gardening has never been my forte, this post about farmers markets & a garden article in country living have inspired me to think about our “garden” & dream about what it could look like. i could sure use the help & vision of the backyard blitz team! we’ve got lots of coolibahs around the house & the soil isn’t great, so raised garden beds might be the answer. i googled raised garden beds & wasn’t surprised to find a great step-by-step post about making them on the pioneers woman’s blog. Ree writes a very entertaining blog about her life in the country – be sure to check it out!




Monique Wye: yummo on the pancakes side of things. Going to follow all your links there and have a read of everything. I love PW's site - but haven't seen her raised beds post - and I think that is how I will have to go one day too soon..... .:) Would love to invite you to my blog again - but I have misplaced your email addy...... :(
charleigh: hi monique! be sure to check out ree's pancake recipe too - it looks delish!
abeachcottage: hello! thanks for popping by, yep I love Pioneer Woman too love your photography - I am hoping to upgrade my camera very soon to improve the dreadful quality of my shots have been looking at a G10 Canon, still point and shoot but looks good... good luck with the garden have to say I find it challenging with Australia's climate, I guess that is just a learning curve to overcome...those raised beds are the biggest thing to hit gardening I think - my mum's hubby is a huge gardener in the UK and he has just built them in his garden and they have been a rip-roaring success...if you are interested I think gardenersworld.co.uk has info on them too oh and I am so gagging to go outback, just seems life three kids and all that gets in the way all the time Sarah
