What do you all do for Easter? I understand my friends in the States don’t get Good Friday or Easter Monday as a holiday but I’m not sure what it’s like for every corner of the globe.
I went down to the beach and then slept for the rest of it. I love, love, LOVE to sleep. If undisturbed I will sleep for 10 hours. When I wasn’t asleep over the break(!) I was watching movies and cooking. It was super relaxing and I feel quite ready now to tackle Mercedes Benz Fashion Week which is rapidly approaching.
New Dahlias which aside from white roses are my all time favourite flower from ‘Grown’ outside Coles on Clarendon St, South Melbourne.
I bought this Royal Doulton tea cup and saucer set at the op-shop in Barwon Heads for $15. It looked rather old and I noted a serial number on the bottom of every piece. When I got home and looked it up it turns out the set is from the 1930’s and is worth about $100-$150. Score!

Oh my goodness me, beautiful dahlias. I miss those precious blooms in my neighbour’s front yard…Great score with the tea cups!
I feel like jumping through the screen and taking those flower’s and placing them in a vase on my dinning table.Love in a vase !
I simply love your photography LM, particularly homewares and beauty. And I LOVE hearing about your op shop / vintage finds. Much more please!
Amazing bargain on the tea set, great find! 🙂 I like your relaxed weekend – we had a very similar one, a little less sleep but a lot of relaxing and spending time with family. What holidays are made for!

That’s a gorge pic of you.
Over the w/e, I had a four-hour nap!
Wow! That tea set was an amazing score! I too have a love of sleeping. Didn’t get up to anything for Easter, it was just a normal weekend as I don’t celebrate it. No chocolate for me, though I did pick up a handful of my brothers favourite eggs today for 1/2 price to give to him!
Oh, I totally agree with you about sleep! We’re so lucky we get the four day weekend, compared with other places that don’t get any additional holidays.
Great find with the tea cup and saucer. It’s amazing that you were able to research the serial number online and find what they were worth. Kudos to you for getting such a bargain!
