weekends are for.........

I wish that Victoria had come for this weekend as the weather is beautiful and when she was here it was raining and then VERY hotandhumid! I have had a bit of a wander around - went to the Easton Pearson sale of fabrics and my new budget limited me to $100! What I got was quite special:

This is some black and silver diagonally striped silk which will be a scarf soon. Also some hand beaded trims..

These are sumptious silks - either for clothes or cushions.
And this is some magnificent taffeta with gypsies on it.

The children down the street had a stall to raise money for their school and were selling bananas from their back yard for $4 a kilo. Because of the cyclone, we haven't been getting very nice bananas and these are delish!

Andy and Audrey came to visit and I made some cupcakes:

I'm not sure how to remove the "glum" photo of Andy so here's a better one!
