Treasures found and little moments

It was a fairly quiet weekend for us; no commitments, sport, or plans.  The weather was beautiful; sunny and mild - lovely spring weather, but with just enough heat in the sun to remind me that summer is almost upon us.  I did however get to one of my favourite coffee shops, Ajanta, in Coolamon, New South Wales.   I love the atmosphere of the place (it's in an old wool shed) and I always leave feeling very inspired and content (it might also have something to do with the home baked goodies the owner has on offer). Every nook and cranny is filled with beautiful things; it really is a lovely place to sit and have a coffee and wander around.

I also stumbled across a new little store, Kindrawares, (http://www.kindrawares.com.au/) not far from the coffee shop. Lots of gorgeous and unique gifts, plus pretty little crocheted Christmas ornaments done by a couple of local ladies.

Lots of pretties...

Look at the handmade Christmas Decorations!

This little treasure jumped out at me too.

I love the earthiness of the jute and of course I couldn't go past the turquoise colour around the top. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it but it's looking very happy and at home just sitting in my living room.

I also managed to do some crocheting - a little Christmas star which was whipped up in no time from a pattern I found here at jellywares.blogspot.com.au.  I don't have much time right now to commit to a large project (which at times is very frustrating) so these little projects satisfy my hooking need at the moment.  I'm planning on making a few more (they are quite addictive) and making a Christmas garland perhaps?

I topped the weekend off with a little bit of baking.....

............so although it was quiet, I had some lovely little moments.  Have a great week,
