What I Found this Week

It was such a gorgeous Spring day I took a trip to the beautiful Barossa Valley with a friend and a trawl of the charity, antique and second-hand shops

I love this delicate Pyrex test tube...perfect for a flower


 A very large chippy pale blue painted laundry basket already in use




a very useful woven  cane food cover


In the spring garden this week


Late afternoon on a lovely spring day with  the sun on the trees








 The very first rose to open













Weeping cherry blossom




sleeping in sunbeams

  9. Sascha looks very peaceful napping in the sun. Thank you for the photo of the hens - I just love them. It is so exciting to see spring emerging as we are deep into fall. I crave the baskets with the oh-so great patina.
