To Look At You

I've been busy trying to sell a few things on eBay.
I wrote and drew myself a list to get started.
Then I took lots of photos, measured the clothes, uploaded the photos and wrote the descriptions. It took quite some time but I'm sure I'll get more efficient as I get more experience.



I can't believe it - I've sold two items already! I happily made my way to my local post office and the man who works there was very helpful in explaining everything I need to know about postage, because I've never sent a parcel before. So off the parcel went and a necklace is making its way to its new owner.




I also sold a golden sunburst mirror that I'd found at a market. It's been hanging in my room for a while now. I love waking up and seeing it, it looks like a sun is in my room! 



Whilst, I was thrilled to make a profit from it, I was sad to see it go. I mentioned this to the guy who picked it up and asked him what he's doing with it. He said that it's being used in a new T.V show on Channel 10! I was happy to hear that - my mirror's going to be a star! Before the guy picked it up, I took a few quick photos with the mirror. It's such a fab 1970s style. 


Outfit details:
Vintage skirt and belt: market finds.
Turtleneck: retail
I made the necklace myself using horn pendants I found on a necklace at a market.

I love the pattern and colours on this skirt.



I think I've got the selling bug now!

After 11 weeks of term 2, preparing reports and completing parent-teacher interviews, I farewelled my grade 2 students, and began my two weeks of holidays. I was looking forward to spending time with my family and grandparents, as well as squeezing in some day trips. My mum and I returned to our favourite place, Daylesford. It was a cold, winter's day so we rugged up in big coats which kept us surprisingly toasty. I wore my tartan coat that I recently bought at a market. I had been looking for a big, long coat for some time as well as watching Gilmore Girls and admiring all of the beautiful coats worn on the show. So when I found this brand new coat, I was happy to hand over my $25. At Daylesford, we first roamed the Vintage Mills Market. It's always fun to have a look at the unique items. I found a vintage, leopard coat. It was a bit pricey, so I thought about it for some time and then decided to buy it as it was a dream item that I have been searching for, for probably over 1...

Earlier in the year, my family and I visited a strawberry farm in Bacchus Marsh. My sister and I love visiting fruit farms and being able to pick our own fruit! The strawberries were much sweeter and tastier than the bland ones usually found in supermarkets. I was delighted to buy some apples too. They had no wax on which is basically unheard of these days. Next we visited a beautiful, old church. I love how the arches are reminiscent of Noah's Ark. Even the door is purposely designed and ornate. We ended the day with some waffles I made from scratch and ate many more strawberries. Title : Dear Boy by Paul & Linda McCartney.

For who knows when we'll meet again this way

The end of our Eden holiday concluded with some time at the beach and a yummy BBQ - vegetables, sausages, onions and salmon.  It's always hard to say goodbye to the beautiful ocean, so I savored the last moments looking out at the water and thinking of all the things I'm grateful for. For the long drive home back to Melbourne, I wore my comfortable Mexican, embroidered dress. A few years ago, I found quite a few Mexican dresses, but haven't come across one in a very long time. I'd love one in red, wouldn't that look fantastic? On the drive, I visited this church that was hosting an art fair and admired this green home! Since returning home, I've done a lot of cooking. Here is a plate of my homemade sausage rolls and long green beans with nuts. I've also gone for some nice walks, sometimes picking flowers along the way. What have you been up to lately?
