Holidays and lucky finds

We had such a lovely holiday at Victor Harbour

on the South Coast of South Australia

It is the most beautifully relaxing place to go for a week or so.

The above picture is Granite Island which is a lovely place to walk, or ride on the horse carriage

across the bridge.  Here you can view the fairy penguins.

This is the view from our Sun room window of the beach house

This is The Bluff,which one can climb. We didn't do that this time,

but have in the past. It's not too hard going.

We walked almost all the way to it this time.

The Inman River,just a few minutes walk from the house.

So peaceful

The tide out

John (hubby) enjoying the peace.

Annnnnd,you might know I couldn't come back without 

having visited a few charity and second hand shops

I got these beautiful sparkly depression glass plate and dish for $2 each

Then I saw the pair at the weekly market for $25

I also got 2 dolls for $2 each and 7 willow pattern saucers $1 each

I had the rest of the dinner set and needed them 

When I visited Bella's Rose Cottage blog

Bella had the very same  glass plates..

She had placed a beautiful frosted candle holder with a tea light

inside,on them and they just sparkled beautifully,so I had to have them for that price.

I am visiting some nice linky parties this week

The links are on my side bar.

Now getting ready to face 40celcius plus temps this week

Not nice, but hey it will let me catch up on some sewing.

Oh, and lucky,the garden was fine. I had thought it wouldn't have 

survived while we were away without water,but it did.

I was especially worried about the roses,but they are as tough as old boots.

Stay warm my Northern friends and in Aus Keep Cool
