Cleveland Art Gallery

Went to Cleveland to visit my chiropractor and always pop into the Cleveland Art Gallery to have a look at what they had this month. I love this gallery it such a beautiful space. There are two weavers with an exhibition there at the moment and one in particular I was very much inspired by is A

Finders Keeper Market

I know it has been a week or so since I last wrote. What a lot has been going on in Brisbane the last 2 weeks. It all started with the Finders Keepers Market Brisbane at the beautiful old Museum building. I went with my wonderful mother in law Val, to show her a bit more of Brisbane, the beautiful old building and all the amazing creative people we have here. What a surprise to bump into a very talented friend of mine Lisa, her sister Linda and Linda's daughter from Northern NSW with their stunning ceramics Pebuku Pottery. If you every have the chance to go to one of the Finders Keepers Markets in either Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne they are well worth it. They are always held in the most beautiful settings, have amazing store holders delicious food and great live music. I came home extremely excited and wanting to get into something creative. 

Brisbane City Museum

 An prison escape rope made from sheets could be an idea for an art work I think?

 I love religious art works this is stunning the work involved is amazing and the jewels fabulous.

 I want this piece though a little macabre a necklace made from teeth

 Another stunning religious art work

Peter the dog, stuffed as he was integral to a legal case last century as a witness?

Brisbane City

Another glorious winter day in Brisbane walked through the city and along the beautiful South Bank Park Lands.  Wouldn't guess that the floods tore through here 18 months ago.

All of the girls went into Wauchope town over the easter weekend.  My old stomping ground where I did my growing up.  Has it changed! There are some really funky shops in town now, beautiful dress shops with great clothing, awesome accessories and beautiful handbags. My favourite store was the one above "outlier" www.outlier.com.au there were the most amazing and interesting bits and pieces I could have spent all day there.  I couldn't help myself and bought a new (old) rolling pin, I love it I have already used it to make the base of a quiche, it worked a treat.  

Happy belated Easter, had a wonderful time with my family, Sisters, Brother, Mumsie and a smattering of Nephews and a Niece. Went to the Mid North Coast of NSW onto my Sister and Brothers property.  Amazing time, great food, wine and happy memories.

Table set ready for one of our family meals.  All the girls glammed up and ready after spending the afternoon in the kitchen laughing and cooking amazing food.

The sun has set and the moon is starting to rise we are all wandering around with a glass in hand waiting for another amazing meal to be shared with family and friends.

The next morning cup of tea in hand looking out from the dinning room onto this beautiful corner of the world.  I am lucky.

Is this not heaven?
