Easter 2012

I have never done a table decoration for Easter before. Always for Christmas, the beginning of Spring and Autumn etc.
I saw these white rabbits and couldn't resist them.

The white cloth came from the Cornubia garage sale and the white pot was $5 on a throw out table from 3 years ago. I bought the pot of flowers for the Autumn colourings.

Easter 2012

A great idea

I attended a lovely 'baby shower' lunch at Harvey's on James Street. I do not like baby showers with silly games etc. and only went to this one as I was promised a good lunch fabulous company and no games.

That is exactly how it was. A lovely Sunday afternoon. The hostess' sister who couldn't be there organized a little treat for each place setting.

I found out they they were made by a young Mother with small children and this is the business she started to be able to stay home with her children.

Excellent Rocky Road

I think that this is a wonderful idea especially when it was made with such care.

Potato Pizza

Potato pizza is one of my favourite friday night meals. I can always find a potato, I always have roti, lebanese bread, or tortilla's (yes I have used all of these for a base) in my freezer. There is always garlic, oil, salt and fresh rosemary from the garden, parmesan and or feta cheese.

I slice the potato very finely on the mandolin, lay it out in a single layer on a dinner plate and microwave for 2 minutes. Put it straight on the base, cover with crushed garlic, finely chopped rosemary salt, pepper. cheese (s) of choice and drizzle with olive oil.

Pop in the oven on a pizza tray, have a quick shower and dinner is ready. A green salad and wine are optional extra's.

Always good

Saturday @ Goma

I went to a lecture at Goma yesterday and saw the Eugene von Guerard exhibition. I have been meaning to see this all summer but because of my fall in January I haven't been going out very much at all.

I did enjoy it. I also saw Yayoi Kusama's exhibition. I didn't have time to see it when I last visited the gallery.

This was the first thing I saw

Gorgeous colours

A seat?

A Glamorous Fashion Night

The event I attended at the Conrad Treasury Hotel last night was very glamorous. It was a warm night but out side on the grass with a string quartet, french champagne and peking duck pancakes as a canapé

all was right with the world.

Beautiful fashion

Stunning jewellery

Lovely music

Flowers at the entrance to the marquee

The dessert buffet was amazing
