Weekend Wanderings

This weekend we went down to Melbourne for a quick 24hrs (almost literally, our parking docket at the airport went from 13:53 on Dec 3 to 13:56 on Dec 4) where Mister B's cousin was hosting his annual Christmas Party.  

First stop was for some sweetness and warmth on Little Collins  (Melbourne weather was typically unpredictable and straight after a cuppa we went shopping for a coat)  Dropping in at the Laurent has become somewhat of a tradition for us now, remember when we visited back here last year?

So much fabulosity!

The party itself was loads of fun, and the apartment was perfect.  Mind you, I could only enjoy the beautiful view from the balcony in brave bursts as the wind out there was freezink!  It's December people.

Ahem, we may have been a few hours in when this photo was taken :)

Isn't dessert ALWAYS the best part of the night!

 

Walking down Little Collins...


...where we found time for one more stop at our favourite patisserie before flying back.


Naturally I found a few moments to grab another ornament for the tree...

...let no bough go unburdened is the new expression I have coined for my addiction.

So our first Christmas party for the year and the season is off to a flying start.  The pun is shameless.  I know.  Hope you've all had a good weekend, now am off to have dinner and settle in with the three new mags I bought today.  



I shall report back with any need-to -knows!

Weekend Wanderings

Am back from the loveliest of weekends visiting a friend and her new bebe.   The first thing we did after pick-up was to drop in and visit Oliveaux's newly opened store in Woolloongabba.  Love!  Am cross at myself that I didn't think to ask Amanda if I could take some pictures to post here, she has created such an a-marzing space in there.  You'll just have to pop in yourselves.  Saturday was spent lunching and dinnering with friends and a lazy Sunday lolling around catching up on everything.  Utopia.

The digs.

I know.

The Oliveaux loot.

There's only so much you can fit into an already overweight suitcase.

The pie.  Coconut Cream.  Wicked.

Sadly I didn't take any pictures of our finished 'pa' so 
you'll have to 'make do' with one of Martha's.

Old friends are the comfort food of company don't you think.  Rhetorical question.
