Loving Spring

This week I pounced on a darling pink jar perfect for my dressing table ....it's lovely and heavy too

Spring is slowly unfurling in the garden this week

the koalas are returning to the gum tree but I haven't managed a photo yet

Blossoms

an antique shop which has been open for 50 years is closing so I had a good rummage (  a dirty and dusty jumbled mess) and found 3 more pieces of antique cutlery for $1 each, for my collection

Spring blossom at last
