Floriade and Pretty Jewellery Storage

I'm backtracking here a little, sorry!  Back at the beginning of October I spent a long weekend in Canberra with a wonderful group of friends.  We visited Floriade which was absolutely beautiful. If I had to choose any talent, apart from singing, it would be a green thumb.  Unfortunately I can't carry a tune in a basket and I'm phobic about bugs and critters, especially eight legged ones, that can be found in the garden.  Sad, but I love to hear and see other people's efforts.

Aren't they gorgeous?! All with flowers. I took this one from the ferris wheel - it was the only elevated vantage point unfortunately, and it was reeeeaaally cold!

Just beautiful!  This is the first time I've been to Floriade but I'm hoping to get back again in future.

Anyway, another of our days out was a visit to the Old Bus Depot Markets.  Well worth a visit with so much to look at and to buy.  I found this gorgeous stand for my jewellery.

So pretty! I just couldn't resist. The idea is so simple and so practical.  Here it is with some of my stuff on it.

Needless to say it has lots more on it now! Don't you just love finding such pretty and useful stuff!  They had other things too like tiered cake stands and they also do what look like lovely high teas.  I don't think they have a web site but they're on Facebook at www.facebook.com/SwishVintageCanberra.  

It's always great to visit Canberra!

Cheers for now
