Measuring a summer's day, I only finds it slips away to grey

 Day 4 of our Eden holiday began with three rainbow lorikeets greeting us and landing on my mum's hand to eat some panettone, of all things!

My family and I had a lazy morning, where I did lots of embroidery. I embroidered three large poppies on a lilac, cotton bag which I'll use to carry shopping/groceries.

For lunch, my family and I went to the Great Southern Hotel Inn. My mum and I enjoyed a delicious rump steak with mushroom sauce, vegetables and roast potatoes. It was so tasty and I looked forward to returning.

After lunch, we drove around the wharf and lookout and admired the beautiful, blue water. 

The afternoon was spent relaxing, journaling, eating ice-cream and seeing more rainbow parakeets as they returned for an afternoon snack!

I hope you don't get sick of seeing my same sunglasses, straw bag and sandals in my holiday posts. I only packed two small bags and tried to choose items that I love that also go with my dresses!

    I'll never get sick of seeing that gorgeous straw bag, as I am definitely a sucker for them!
    How gorgeous are those rainbow lorikeets, and how thrilling that they were eating out of your Mum's hand! xxx

 Where do you buy your clothing from? Opshops? Online shops? Retail stores? For a while, I hadn't been buying much clothing as my wardrobe is absolutely full! From time to time, I sell pieces from my wardrobe on eBay to slowly thin out my collection. Although recently I fell into an eBay rabbit hole and have purchased quite a few nice dresses.  I bought this  Tree Of Life  dress on eBay after admiring the exact same one my mum has. I tried on her dress, so knew which size to buy. It popped up immediately when I looked it up online, and for less than $30 including postage, it was mine ! Leopard is always fabulous, I think. I enjoyed wearing it for a get-together with family friends at my uncle Arthur's house a little while ago. This cotton, brown and cream kaftan was also from Tree of Life. I wore it recently when going to see Simple Minds play at the Red Hot Summer Tour. And boy was it hot, at 35 °C     we were so sweaty, people were fainting around us...

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, grandparents and boyfriend, 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 prob...

  Last Thursday night, my mum, sister and I went to see Wicked: The Musical in the city!  We quickly dressed and rushed there after work and made it just in the nick of time before the 7pm start. We marvelled at the ceiling and Romeo and Juliet style balcony. I even spotted a handful of Australian TV personalities, walking through a roped off area, which is something I've never seen here in Melbourne. Usually, we all just walk through the same entrance!  I absolutely love  The Wizard of Oz  as you may have noticed  here  and  here  and quite enjoyed Wicked The Musical, with its perspective of two witches Elphaba and Glinda from the Land of Oz. The set was wonderful, with references to the Land of Oz such as the Emerald City, cornfield and a field of poppies. It was lovely to see so many beautifully dressed audience members, with many of them wearing the colour emerald. I loved the enchanting costumes and the singing was absolu...
