Dreaming of Vintage Treasures

Hello! I've been on a cooking spree lately - feast your eyes! On Sunday, I made this delicious vegetable soup which is perfect in winter. I also made my own lavash crackers and threw in so many herbs and spices - tumeric, thyme, basil, chilli, oregano, pepper, salt - and they turned out fantastic! I've been eating them everyday at work with some cheese and apples/grapes - delicious! After looking back at my birthday photos , I decided to make some Macedonian tulumbi (doughnuts with syrup) again! On Monday, (a public holiday for the Queen's birthday) I even brought some over to my dedo's house, thinking he'd be all proud of me but with all that syrup, he's way too health conscious to eat them! Nevermind, dad and I still enjoyed pottering around in the backyard with him. I wore this big fluffy leopard coat and my thigh high boots- two items that I reserve for very cold days. And under the coat was...   More leopard! Altho...

May is the month of birthdays in my home, with my mum's last week and mine this week. My family and I went to Daylesford for a stroll through the countryside. I love this lily pad behind me. It looks marvellous in summer. There were very few people about as it was cold and wet. Even my sturdy cowboy boots didn't stop me from slipping several times on the slippery moss.  A peacock decided it wanted to be best friends with my umbrella and menacingly followed my mum and I around, much to her delight and my terror! We had some souvlakis, chicken burgers and hot chips for lunch. My favourite vintage mills market was closed so we entertained ourselves by walking around Lake Daylesford and laughing over one joke or another. There were more people out and about so we all remained socially distanced.  This outfit kept me warm! Coat ($4) and vintage bag ($7): Op-shopped. Earrings and turtleneck: retail. Boots ($10) and cord pants ($5)...
