Day 274 - To Market, To Market

The Handmade Markets were on this weekend and so Mum, Henry and I went along for a look and to buy a few nice things. I have been after some new red beads to wear and I found this funky necklace by "Six in a Row", who I am pretty sure I have bought a similar style necklace from before. I also bought some fabric from the Japanese fabric stall for Mum to make a new reversible bucket hat for Henry and of course some delicious macaroons from the same people that sell them at the Bus Depot Markets (Curious Chocolatier). We got lemon, raspberry cheesecake and lime and coconut. The raspberry cheesecake was definitely the favourite for me.

Day 227 - My Birthday!

As I said to Dale, I really didn't need a birthday cake after all the cake that we have had recently and so instead Dale brought me home a gorgeous dessert platter from Flute tonight for my birthday :) Now that all of the family birthdays are over for a little while, I think we'll have to eat a bit healthier for the time being... until the next birthday coming up!

Day 205 - Markets, Macaroons and Mess Making

It had been a while since I had been to the Old Bus Depot Markets and I went over there today thinking it would be a good place to get a birthday present that I have been meaning to buy over the last few weeks. Instead of the usual crowd over there I found it pretty quiet - maybe something to do with the 5 degree day we seemed to be having. Anyway after a quick look and a purchase of yummy macaroons (salted caramel, raspberry and chocolate) Henry and I were on our way. Later at home I continued trying to tidy up after out mammoth Ikea construction night last night, but failed as Henry appeared to make mess quicker than I can clean up. Perhaps a better project while he is sleeping!
