This is a little sneak peek at the big ticket purchase we made from a beautiful shop in the Adelaide Hills.Its being delivered next week and I can't wait. This pic was taken in the shop
It's a French oak dining table with 6 cross back chairs. We saw this in the shop months ago before their sale and fell in love but could only dream of replacing our scratched and brown dining set. Then we saw them on sale....nope...still can't afford. My stepmother came to visit last week ( my darling Dad passed away just before Christmas with a long battle with cancer) with a few things Dad wanted me to have, as well the opportunity to buy something for the house as a post Christmas present
I will always think of Dad when we use the table
I'll take some more pics when they arrive !!!
Another not so thrifty find.....I happened to come across the little sister mercury bottle of my favourite dressing table collection
And in the same shopping area a gorgeous florist shop absolutely filled with David Austin roses
I kept moving them around the house to enjoy them and now they are hanging in the pantry drying
I found a couple of antique books at the Salvos a couple of weeks ago for my collection
The large book was a prize given in 1918 at the end of WWI

In the garden this week
The large egg laid last week turned out to be a double yolker and this week an even larger egg
The beans are flourishing in the cooler autumn days
......and the leaves are turning to beautiful autumnal colours
Misty autumn mornings
Soft morning light
Sunny afternoons

Hi!Happy G'Day!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post- wonderful photos!!!You put colors on my day!
hugs
G' Day Anastasia.....thank you and I'm glad I have made your day more colourful xxx
DeleteYour blog is a feast for the senses! I found you through Say G'Day Saturday and am so glad I did. I love vintage, countrysides and all things beautiful. I'd love to follow you but the follow with Google Connect button doesn't seem to be working. If you're on Google+ would you please connect with me there so I can follow back? I'd love to keep up with your posts. Your new blog friend, Mary at www.GoCrochetCrazy.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteWelcome Mary...lovely to meet you xxx
DeleteMeg - what a lovely post. And, how good to have something to remember your dear dad by - something you will see and use everyday.
ReplyDeleteIt is rather strange to see your photos of autumn coming - for us, spring has just arrived. Tomorrow, we re-set our clocks one hour forward to summer time. One less hour in bed tomorrow, but it's proof that summer is just around the corner!
We go back one hour next week!!!!! ...so winter is not far off...our first winter in this house xx
DeleteBeautiful photos. Can't wait to see your new table and chairs.
ReplyDeleteHi Meg - I love your new table. What a beautiful gift to remember your Dad by. I also love that Army book you found. It's lovely. I just love your home and property. I've been fortunate enough to have traveled to Australia four times and I just love the countryside there. It looks like you live in a very beautiful area. xo
ReplyDeleteI just love seeing the view that you have around your home.
ReplyDeleteHow very blessed you are. It is breathtaking!
Have a lovely week.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
The scenery is so beautiful~~~wonderful photos. What a wonderful new dining set!!!
ReplyDeleteThe dining room table and chairs are a lovely remembrance of your Dad. I found your blog a couple of months ago and am enjoying it so much.
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon, thank you for visiting my blog and your kind thoughts...I always love meeting new friends around the world xxxx
DeleteWow I love the look of your new table, all your finds and as always your garden.

Oh I am a cloud watcher and love the pictures of the clouds and the cart. I have my first cat now and love him so much even though he sheads a lot
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, that table is amazing. When my dad passed I bought a set of chairs I'm now using in my kitchen sitting area. Each time I set down at the table I think of Daddy.
ReplyDeleteSimply lovely. That table will be enjoyed and cherished for a long time. It's not even home yet, and there are special memories to go with it already!
ReplyDeleteG'day from Brisbane! Many thanks for linking up to the Say G'Day Saturday link up and sharing your gorgeous pictures! Hope you can join in again this weekend.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,

What a life! You are blessed! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your new table. A sweet memento of your dad.
I like to move my little roses around the house to.
Roses from the garden have such amazing fragrance.
Thanks for sharing at Fresh-Cut Friday! :)
