Hi Friends
Happy Saturday....
I am not usually this self indulgent BUT today was very special. I had the best Saturday in a long time. It is the first Saturday I have not worked in a long time and it has been so lovely.
I slept in, did a bit of reading (fashion magazine:), bike ride and late brekky at Turtle Cafe in Elwood. My favourite place for poached eggs, yummy sour dough toast (I ask for butter!), spinach and mushrooms - I haven't found a place that beats Turtle for this combo. BUT, I always have to ask to have well cooked toast - so it is golden brown/tan. Otherwise (no matter where I go) it will come out as a piece of heated bread!
Then it was a short ride to Elwood Community Market. I have been desperate to go there for ages. It is on the 1st Saturday in every month from 8am - 1pm. Bought fresh flowers at the best price - Oriental Lily, medium stems $8 a bunch. Along with that, I got veggies, a huge pot of Flat Leaf Parsley (It's like a tree) and a pot of Mint. I love Loads of fresh herbs in Salads. And I love plants - hope they do well.
There are heaps of different stalls at the Elwood Market - you can buy UGGS ugg boots at a discounted price. They maybe seconds, but they looked pretty good to me. Plants, Hats, Jewellery, Beautiful baked goods and a fantastic array of second hand clothing - similar to Camberwell Market. There are loads of Kids clothes stores and many other treasures.
Road home - hilarious with all my goods - my massive pot or Parsley in front on my Bike basket. People thought I was quite amusing. One lovely lady said ..you bought too much love as I rode past. And I responded I know - I couldn't help it!
Got home and got a little dressed up. My beautiful sis Manda picked me up and off we went to Daniella Balscheit's Jewellery launch at SURROUND in St Kilda. Daniella and husband Marcus are lovely, talented and so interesting. Their store SURROUND is fabulous AND with this new addition it's even better. The pieces are from NYC and Paris. Both current and vintage pieces - and very reasonably priced. Go check them out - they are so yummy. I will do a write up on Daniella's range soon - with photos etc..
Now at my sister's house with my beautiful Niece and Nephew (Frank has gone to the footy). Manda is cooking a Ricotta and Spinach Pie! OH YES ...I'm in heaven. AND THEN I GET TO GO TO THE FOOTY TO WATCH THE HAWKS W MY FAMILY AT MCG TMRW. Yaaaaaaaaaay!
Post Match ...GO HAWKS!

Hey Jo, if only all Saturdays were as good as that! Loved the Goldie jewellery - Daniella is so fabulous - can't believe she finds those incredible vintage pieces. I bought an stunning gold flat plate necklace and a pair of gold/turquoise earings. Thanks for the styling advice - I love my new jewellery xxxx Amanda
