A Weekend Spent Strolling...

On Saturday I had the pleasure of spending some time with two lovely ladies - Eileen and Eunice. We strolled around the two markets in my area and in between, stopped for a bite to eat.

At the first market, I was delighted to pick up a glowmesh bag from Whiting and Davis for a steal. The little old man even gave me a discount because he liked my hair - good thing I had it all chopped off a few days before. He kept saying I was good and had good hair. Which is good! The bag has never been used and came in its original box with the original mirror and coin purse. These are apparently normally very expensive. I'm very happy.

I also picked up a strand of faux pearls and some beautiful hand made cards.

For lunch, we all pretty much just ate sugar - except for Eileen, who was smart enough to get something savory as well. But eating lunch at a chocolate cafe can do that to a person - especially when they are serving a dessert that you have to inject with yummy amazing-ness that is served in a stainless steel kidney shaped bowl with peanut flavoured ice cream!!

I was sad to see the day end because it was such a lovely one. Beautiful weather and a few pairs of shoes to boot!

Lucky for me, Eileen and I share the same shoe size. She was planning to take a bunch to an op shop but asked if I would like first dibs - I am now the proud owner of 6 new (to me and all pretty much new anyway) pairs of shoes! They are gorgeous and I love them. Eileen is a girl after my own heart.

In return I'm doing some sewing jobs she needs done. Free shoes and I get to sew? Sign me up.

I apologise for my sporadic posting of late too. Long work days are tiring, getting home when its dark is tiring and sometimes just I don't want to look good on the weekend for photos. I just want to curl up in my jammies with a hot chocolate. It also doesn't help that I don't have much in the way of cooler weather clothes with me at the moment. Our things finally arrived in the country on Saturday but will be in customs for a few weeks. Which means my small supply of warm weather outfits have been doing the rounds again and again and again.

And its getting cold, and its been super wet and rainy this week...

I'm sure next week will be better though because David and I have been together for 5 years and I turn 25! It is good.
