Our Weekend


This weekend for me has been occupied with... homewares shopping... organizing quotes for new skirting boards... pondering over carpet samples... attending a Tupperware party (and enjoying delicious afternoon tea treats)... cooking chicken curry... going for a lovely family drive to the country town of Toodyay (where we browsed in their amazing homewares/antique store and then enjoyed a nice lunch)... finally getting around to giving a coat of primer to our two little Ikea stools and enjoying a hearty bowl of soup before curling up in front of our heater - a nice productive weekend!

What lovely things did you all get up to?

  1. That sounds like the sort of weekend I love. We were pretty quiet, I left the housework alone and played with the kids instead :)

  6. sounds like the weekend of a domestic goddess! I went birthday shopping with my mum, had morning tea of cups of tea & scones, went out for dinner with my friends at a lovely resturant, and then had birthday lunch at my mums. So most of it was involving food, but lovely all the same. hehe.

  11. Well mate, that sounds just about perfect. I love going up to the hills, (that's where I was born and raised) and checking out all the cute shops in the little towns.
    We had another 'super' cleaning day on Saturday, and then had some rellies over for 'Homemade Pizza' night. I had a home open on Sunday and as soon as that was over, I ripped out the suitcases and packed all our stuff for the trip. I am not really taking much though, as I increased my suitcase allowance so I can bring home 30kg's woo hoo, Lookout Bali!
    I hope you have a wonderful week.
