Two

Well you guessed it! Brad and I have been married TWO years! I can't believe it was TWO years ago, how time flies.
We had a wonderful evening. We went to Hargreaves Hill brewery in Yarra Glen for tea and it was mouth watering. (Check out 'Foodies Monday')
Here is a description of the menu we ate.
"Slow roasted pork belly with macadamia, walnut and pistachio farce and a char grilled pear salad with mustard vinaigrette and a glass of Sedona Estate 2006 Merlot"
AMAZING!
Its been a massive two years but a wonderful one!

White paint and Christmas craft

Since finishing full time study and getting past exams and assignments, I have had a bit more time to do some creative things at home and also some crafty preparation for Christmas time.
I painted our brown brick fire place white and I am so happy with the finished product. It brightens up the room and really creates a lovely centre piece.

Brad and I are going over to England on December the 10th (exciting!!!) and so we are having a family and friends (separate) Christmas party. I decided to make my own bon bons this year (first time). I am going for a red and white colour theme and the bon bons in the shop just were not doing it for me.

My freshly painted white fire place. It was a horrid glazed brown brick.
Paint - $8
Brush - $5

My new "love" vase from my visit to Robert Gordon - LOVE!

Bits and pieces involved.

The finished product - just what I wanted!
