Well, I made no effort to hide my enthusiasm for my new found passion in my last post. While it has been something that I have discussed with John and said I would prefer we didn't publicise, I wasted no time in telling you about my new favourite pastime- Garage Sales.

I took a couple of pictures of our garage sale finds from the weekend and listed the prices for your 'oh em gee'íng' purposes. I just çan't hide these from you. There are also some things I didn't photograph. eg. We bought 4 pieces of pine, which we are going to make a headboard from. We are just going to wrap it with dowl (?), whatever the quilt insides are made of, then cover it with material. I will take pics once we do it. The pine was $10.

I'm off to bed.. love you heaps! xxsj

Garden Update!

Watering soil and the finished product!


The side garden- not sure what I am doing here yet but the garden behind the carport is where the pumpkins will go eventually.

My inspiration for the new 'love shack'!

Hi Ref!

Well, I thought you would like an update on our vege garden- it is finally finished and we have planted the seeds! Hooray! Fresh veges in abundance, come to me! We have planted pumpkins, brocoli, rocket, lettuce, coriander, chives, beans, tomatoes, beetroot and carrots. We have also figured out some other areas that we can put more vege seeds and are thinking of doing a big pumpkin garden behind the carport- can never have too much pumpkin in winter!

While pottering around in the backyard, we have also come up with more plans! We have moved all of the tools from the magna into the laundry so that we can take the car to the wreckers. We are then going to turn the carport into an outside dining area, reminiscent of the shack in airlie! Well, shack in airlie, cross the piture shown above. I will, of course, keep you 'posted'.

So all in all, our weekend was productive. Not only did we make lot's of progress on the backyard, but we also tested the waters of garage sales. What sweet waters they are. I didn't, stupidly, take photos of our absolutely fabulous buys but will be sure to tomorrow. Needless to say, every weekend, John and I will be hitting the garage sales. He loves it too! I certainly suggest you look into this too. Sooo good and rewarding!

Love you lots ♥sj
