A few days away

We have just come home from a lovely break in Hobart. It was nice to get away and spend time together as a family, On Friday I went to visit the girls at the quilted crow, I was there for ages, Leonie even made me a cup of tea, it was so nice sitting there chatting to them both about their shop and all the beautiful quilts they have on display. I didn't leave there empty handed I bought some fabric called Recess to go with my Sewing circle 1950s ladies, I think its perfectly with the 50s theme of the quilt,This morning we went to Salamanca market, we hadn't been there before so it was good to see. I bought this very cute tray and blackboard for my kitchen.



On the way back to the car I made the boys stand in front of the boats so I could take a few photos.




Its always nice to go away but just as nice to come home.
