Vanuatu trip

2010-07-11T00:14:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago we had a little trip to Vanuatu here is the story

(I will be posting images and stories for the next few weeks)

The first day

We arrived in Vanuatu early evening it was getting dark when we got off the plain. Steeping out of the plain you were hit with nice warm tropical air which was so refreshing after coming from Tasmania where it was getting very cold.

The airport was small and their was two lines, one for residents and the other of visitors we had to line up to get our papers stamped, then we were off to get our luggage and go through customs. Once we got out of the airport we were out the door to grab a taxi to our hotel room.

The drive to our hotel was quick and we saw a lot of people walking along the streets, with in a few minutes we arrived at our hotel, we are staying on the waterfront and our hotel is a small boutique style accommodation.

The streets of Port Villa

Port Villa

First few days in paradise

Our first few days in Vanuatu revolved around walking into Port Villa, looking and planning our trip for the few weeks and trying some of the food and hunting down a good cup of coffee. We found a cool restaurant that was on the waterfront and this became our regular coffee spot. We found Port Villa to be a nice small town where it was easy to get around and the locals were so friendly.

Welcome winter

2010-06-01T17:39:00.000-07:00

Image from http://www.jurlique.com.au

It’s the second day of winter today and we are just so lucky to have another wonderful day, was out the door by 6:30am and it was a fantastic morning not too cold and no frost.

I started the first day of winter by being treated to some new Jurlique hand cream from my husband he knows how obsessed I am with hand cream, and the Jurlique brand is my favourite. this time the shop was out of stock of the citrus one so I was surprised with some Rose hand cream instead and its just divine.

Now going to leave you with this little picture of Kooshan that I snapped on the weekend, I think is looks evil and kind of cute in this picture.

On Sunday afternoon we went for a drive to Deloraine for afternoon tea at Tara’s place, there were cups of lemon myrtle early gray tea and white rose tea. Lush servings of soft centred chocolate brownies and home made quince cake.

There was lost of tea drinking chatting and laughing in the dining room in front of a raring warm fire. A grate way to spend a Sunday afternoon thanks Tara for the lovely quince cake and the tips on how to cook a quince.

Anniversary

2010-05-19T22:17:00.000-07:00

Last weekend it was our wedding anniversary and every year we head down to Coles Bay. This year the weather was fine and the sun was shining which made the days all that more fun.

We had a lovely stay at Hazard Hideaway which is a exclusive waterfront hideaway hidden away on Coles Bay, from the bedroom, lounge and kitchen we had superb water front views, what more could you ask for.

Waking up in the morning listening to the waves crash and having a first class view of the bay.

Our few days away was full of having some lazy time in front of the fire, reading books on the bench out side the room with the water just inches from our feet, and lots of delicious chocolate, and yummy food.

and finally some picture taking on our anniversary, thanks husband of the lovely pictures.

Baby Teresa

2010-05-17T18:02:00.000-07:00

Today’s blog is all about giving, and I would like to introduce Baby Teresa which is a wonderful venture to help give clothing to a baby in need. Kirsty and Sammie are the two wonderful people behind this grate cause.

So how does it work, well for every Baby Teresa outfit that is purchased by you, another outfit is donated to a baby in need.

Which this is such a simple concept and is proving to be working like a charm. Baby Teresa has donated cute baby outfits to

New York City, USA: a Baby Teresa HQ Donation
The Philippines: with volunteers Phil and Bec Beeston
Tanzania and Kenya: with volunteer Aaron Jones
Jordan: a Baby Teresa HQ donation
Egypt: a Baby Teresa HQ donation
Uganda: with volunteer Susan Thomas and her sister Mary
Tasmania, Australia: a Baby Teresa HQ donation

So how to get hold of a Baby Teresa outfit for your little one, or for a friend or why not give one as a baby shower gift share the love of a new cute outfit to two baby's.
you can jump online to the Baby Teresa website

Baby Teresa also has a facebook fan site which is a grate way to keep upto date with all the hard work that is going on

The Purple Finch Photo Shoot

Would love to have your comments, what do you think about the shoot?

Lazy Sundays

2010-05-03T04:29:00.000-07:00

Sunday was my day off, the week before last I managed to clock up a bit over 42 hours for one uni subject + doing a bit of work as well so basically I was very warn out, our project team had 7 major documents to complete for a massive assessment it was just full on. So I decided that this weekend I would take the Sunday off.

Sunday started with a massive sleep in well until 10am, we got ready and went for a drive to Deviot I heard that there was a market going on. When we arrived there were lots of cars and people but I think we arrived a little too late in the arvo.

After a little walk around we decided that lunch was the thing to do so we drove up the street to a little Greek café, the views over the river was nice. Lunch was ok we ordered a taste plate with dips, bread, spinach and fetta pie, smoked salmon, cheese among other things. A lot of what was on the taste plate I was unable to eat, so no salmon for me, or the fetta or one of the dips coz I was unsure if it had eggs in it, and I really did not like the deep fried cheese not really my thing.

We then jumped back into the car and drove down the river a little more to Strathlynn for a hot drink, the views were beautiful and there was a quince pudding on the menu so we just had to try it. I will have to say that the pudding was super yummy.

when we arrived home we decided that no work should be done for the rest of the night so movies it was with some air popped popcorn, I don’t really like the microwave stuff far too much butter and salt.

Happy Sunday

2010-05-01T19:29:00.000-07:00

All pretty pictures from here, here and here.

The Purple FInch - now Stocked at Content.

2010-05-01T04:41:00.000-07:00

Today I was able to drop off a stack of earrings from the bubble gum range into Content at 63a Brisbane Street Launceston . These are cute earrings that come in a range of bright and deep colours that can be worn with any outfit. What better way to compliment an outfit than with a pair of eye-catching earrings?

Also, a massive thankyou to Min from Content for taking on these products. :)

The hunt for a Devonshire tea

2010-04-29T04:53:00.000-07:00

image from Whats cooking America

Today we went on the hut for the best Devonshire tea, we took a little drive out to Evandale at Ingleside bakery, we sat but an open fire and it was nice and cossie in there. Soon after we ordered two scones come out looking all yummy and served with raspberry jam and cream. Taste test = ok, they were hot but must have been put in a microwave because after a few mins the scones became a little hard which is not the nicest of things to happen.

So have decided that Neil Pits in Launceston does the best scones in town, well so far. I think there will need to be a bit more exploring to find another yummy spot for a Devonshire tea.

Does any one have any recommendations for places to go to in Launceston?

A combo of my two loves - Kitties & Tea

2010-04-26T18:17:00.001-07:00

Anyone who knows me well knows that I just love cats I think I get that from my Nan she is a massive cat lover as well. My cats are spoilt rotten and one is very naughty wonder why think it was because he was the first pet in the house and just had loads of attention. If I had it my way I would already have a few more exotic kitties running around in my house “would just love to have a Scottish fold kitty or maybe another chinchilla they are my favourite bread, but I am not aloud “sad face”.

Plus there is my other love in life apart from my husband which is so tea, I am also a coffee lover as well but I am very fussy to how my coffee is made so I just opt for tea most of the times that I am out. This brings me to a cool little find this cute kitty cup and saucer I think one of these would be fitting for the office when I have a hot drink break.

Cool Shop Find

2010-04-25T05:08:00.000-07:00

It is really raining outside at the moment, I just love it when it rains at night and I have lots of work to do. Currently writing technical reports (computer geeky technical reports stuff like that which I do enjoy) and I just love it when its poring down and its night doing this type of work in a cosy room with a little desk lap on, oh bliss for me in a strange geeky kind of way.

Anyway the rain has inspired me to collect a few cute rain related finds and share with you all

Chocolate fixes everything

2010-04-19T04:07:00.000-07:00

Well what a day first of all had a massive late night working on lots of project documents clocked about 7 hrs of broken sleep, the morning started off with business meetings at least it was out side sipping tea in the warm sun. Then a mad dash to the office for a training course once that was all over it was phone calls organising stuff, then a little break at my favourite chocolate place Cocobean to enjoying a wonderful hot chocolate from Cocobean thanks Chantelle for making such a yummy hot chocolate it was the best, and catching up with a friend. Then a mad rush for a 5pm project meeting.

Not so sunny QLD Trip

2010-04-12T04:15:00.000-07:00

On Saturday last week my husband and I went up to Cairns for a few days over Easter. We took a late fight out and arrived in Cairns on Saturday night to lots and lots or rain.

On Sunday I caught up with my dad and we headed out to see my Nan, she is 79 this year and I have not seen her for about 8 years. The cool thing about seeing my Nan was that she did not know that I was coming up. So we arrived at my Nan’s house and my dad went in first then I walked in after, my Nan looked and me and I knew she could not recognised who I was. Then she realised who I was and she was in tears, she turned to her partner and said Bob, Bob, it’s my granddaughter. My Nan gave me the biggest hug and was super excited that I came up for a visit.

We all sat down and had a cup of tea and biscuits, and chatted a bit, Bob talked about when he lived in Hobart about 50 years ago, and my Nan talked about were she grew up. The stay was short because I was fighting a headache that I had for the last two days, not so fun.

Inspired to design

2010-04-01T19:01:00.000-07:00

I have had this ring for a long time my dad has a stone cutting hobby and has cut many gemstones, this one he made for my mum when they first got together.

My mum gave me this ring a while back and its one of many beautiful fine jewellery pieces that I have in my collection. I don’t really ware many of my other rings because they don’t really go with my beautify wedding bands which is very Victorian inspired.

I have a massive love of Victorian jewellery and fashion, just recently I decided to get an idea that I had in my head and transform it into some lovely pieces

Here is a little sneak peek at a few pieces which is part of a Victorian inspired collection

So much has been happening for the start of 2010 I can’t believe its only days away from April and I have so much more work to do. I thought that I would share a little bit of what I have been up to in at the start of the year. A few months ago we made a trip to Canberra to check out the Master pieces from Paris, there was so much stunning work and I got to see a few paintings that I have always wanted to see.

there were so many amazing painting by Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Paul Cézanne, Georges Seurat, Pierre Bonnard, Claude Monet, Maurice Denis, Henri Toulouse-Lautrec and Édouard Vuillard.

I also discovered KOKO black and all its super yummy chocolate, and did a little bit of photography for my self. Here is a little picture of parliament house, and in the right hand side you can see person checking out the sunset.

Had a wonderful time at the Niche market, it was so lovely having my stall next to Annie from Red Bamboo and Kate from 3 Blind Mice. I had a lot of help from Tiarne at the stall and also with some sewing thanks Tiarne you are the best. My little sister was there as well with one of her friends and they purchased some lovely hand bond journals from Iris

As always I purchased a few cookies from Hungry Kitty they are always so yummy. I also had a chance to get a few soaps and hand cream from Red bamboo.

I also purchased a Christmas candle from 3 Blind Mice, which was a small gift for the Husband

I also purchased this beautiful pendant from The Ruby Pear, it’s by a lady who finds washed up broken plates from an old ship reck. I have a thing for antiques and old plates so when this caught my eye I knew I just had to have it.

Happy Kaba and the bad Kooshan

2009-11-24T20:19:00.001-08:00

I am happy to say that Kaba has had a week of rest and is all better now. As for Kooshan he has had a few days of being bad, of late he likes to jump into the top draw in the bathroom. Kooshan gets in the draw and pushes the make-up and other stuff I have in the draw so he can squeeze into the back and then he just peers out as if he is saying “look at my new hiding space”.

Poor Kaba

2009-11-17T13:03:00.003-08:00

Kaba has been a bit sick, he developed a sore on his back leg. This all came about from his obsession of licking his back leg after getting a bit itchy from some grass. Anyway he was off to the vet on Friday and the sore was cleaned up and he got some tablets to help with the healing. But that did not stop him from licking his leg so it was back into the vet to get the plastic hood for his head. So the weekend was spent trying to get him to eat and drink because he was off food and water and making sure he was ok. Kaba is starting to get better now and he should be all ok by the weekend.

Poor Kaba

Handmade Gifts

Don’t you just love handmade gifts? I sure do, now I’m not talking about designer handmade like what you get at a market or see online. I am talking about a different kind of handmade.

I little while back my little sister who is 7 years old made me two earrings, One day when I went over to my mums house I got a cute little package from my sister. The out side of this little handmade envelop had some writing on it reading “To Vicki Love Samantha” and it was filled with drawings of little hearts and kisses. Sam can’t spell my real name so she just shortened it. Anyway I opened up the little envelop and to my surprise there was two sets of earrings that she had made. I will have to say for a 7 year old she did a fantastic job with matching the beads and assembling the earrings together. So a big well done to my little sister it is always so nice when you get a little gift out of the blue which you know that a lot of love and effort has gone into it. I think these types of gifts are the best.
