A visit to Green Dandelion

I meant to write this past last week but I was laid low over the weekend with an acute case of vertigo and that meant I was unable to do anything apart from lie in bed and try not to move because if I did the result was immediate nausea and vomiting. Thankfully I have recovered apart from feeling really tired from the Labyrinthitis caused by a virus. As my son and I leave for Melbourne in a few days I was thinking that I might have to cancel the trip if I didn't improve. Last week a friend and I visited Green Dandelion which is now in the old Sauce Kitchen building in Station Street, Toowoomba within walking distance from the Grand Central Shopping Centre. So if you were wondering what had happened to Suanne as she hasn't been at the Cobb and Co farmers' markets for some time, then you can find her there in her new shop.

National Op Shop Week

Today when I had the house to myself for a change, I thought I would paint some chopsticks as I want to make some potplant 'pretties' in the next few weeks. I got the idea of the hearts from Meg's blog post Flower Pot Hearts and experimented with wrapping the wire around a chopstick to make it more sturdy.

Certainly one of a kind!

A few days ago I heard about a new Op Shop (Thrift Shop for my Northern Hemisphere readers) in town. Well it was new to me but apparently has been open for a couple of months already. So I called in today to check it out and was pleasantly surprised.
