I'm dreaming of my op-shopping adventures tomorrow here in Warragul, where my dad lives... I can't wait to delve into the moth-ball scented racks of country op-shops again!
Today I'm posting some vintage pics from Flickr just to update the blog - after a number of months lying low, being busy...

Flowers in Tilba, NSW
Originally uploaded by Spices for Violet

I was just uploading some nice pics of a seaside holiday in NSW and found this little gem.
We did some lovely meandering in the township of Tilba when the weather had turned on us and learning to surf for another day just wasn't an option. Outside an antique shop I found a beautiful cottage garden and couldn't resist taking photos of these flowers. My mum grows them in her country garden and they always make me smile. They stand over a metre high!
