Looking forward to Spring

The weather here in Brisbane has been unusually cold this winter. This moring is was only 2.7 degrees C and as my home is an Old Queenslander, and has polished wooden floors throughout, it was freezing! Once the sun is up, it's often warmer outside than inside, and I often sneek out onto the front deck to have a cup of tea and warm up.

As I don't cope with the cold very well, I'm am longing for Spring. Yesterday I went to my local farmers markets and there were bursts of colour everywhere in the flower section, which made me think of the warmer weather that is only a few weeks away......please be only a few weeks away!

Love Vintage

Over the weekend, I took my daughter to the "Love Vintage" expo that was on in Brisbane. I have been to the same expo in Sydney a couple of times and it was fantastic. This was the first time the expo has been held in Brisbane, and although it was quite a bit smaller than the Sydney show, we still enjoyed ourselves. It's fun to fossick through jewellery, lace, linens, clothes, shoes and bags and see the "vintage" fashion followers all dressed up for their day out.

I love it when you turn a corner and see something unexpected. Although "Love Vintage" is all about the fashion of days gone by, there were a couple of cars and scooters on display. This one was beautiful although I think it was the colour that I loved so much.

There was a crowd of people there so I'm sure the event will grow in size next year. I'll leave you with a video of some of the entertainment that was on while we were there. It goes for a couple of minutes and it's of some dancers that were on stage as we walked passed. They were great considering they had such a tiny floor space to work with. (I have to remember to turn my phone sideways!!!)

Finders Keepers

The Finders Keepers market was on in Brisbane last weekend. It's the first time I have been to one and it was full of talented designers with their beautiful products. I had all intentions of photographing all of my favourite booths but when I got there, it just didn't seem right. Has that ever happened to you?

I noticed that no one else was taking photos and it just seemed inappropriate to be photographing their designs. I can tell you that it was lovely. I get caught up in how each designer has displayed their products and there were plenty of clever ideas. The markets were held at the Old Museum in Brisbane, a beautiful piece of architecture that I have often driven past but never been inside. Outside was just as busy as inside with many food vendors and musicians for entertainment.
