Melbourne and a Mystery...

Yesterday the girls & I met some lovely friends at the Melbourne Museum. While we waited for them (they were late, we were early) we entertained ourselves by checking out this cute delivery van, people watching and..

...a bit of tap dancing to pass the time. Then there was some posing...

and finally our friends arrived! Then it was inside for a good old sticky beak at some other fancy fashion girls, and as many other exhibits as we could fit in.

I love, love, love the room devoted to all things Melbourne. I could spend all day in there. They have a fabulous display of an old house which depicted life in early Melbourne. The outdoor dunny attracted alot of attention, I suppose for kids these days an outside toilet would seem pretty amazing!


Lucy loved catching up with Daisy Kate and it was lovely to see her sisters too, Poppy & Kitty Rose. Carm and I had a good old yack, it's always good to chat with her. She has been having her own anxiety issues recently so it was good and reassuring to share this with her. We always have a good old laugh too, she really cracks me up. We've been through alot together over the years and I always love to see her.



After the museum we headed up to Lygon St to visit the Poppy Shop. The girls picked out two little suitcases for their doll clothes & we spent quite a while just looking at all the beautiful things in this gorgeous shop.

We came here as kids and it's great to see it is still run by the same woman, Pat. So many wonderful treasures..

Today we are back at home and it's suddenly the end of the school holidays! How did that happen? I've really enjoyed the time with our kids and Mark, who goes back to work on Monday too.

This weekend we are celebrating the 7th birthday of our beautiful daughter, Sunday, so I'm super excited about that! And her birthday is ON Sunday so it's extra special.

Finally lovely friends I have a little mystery to solve. Today I received my gorgeous and amazing name tag and I don't know who sent it! I can recall seeing this fabulous nametag on someones blog...or did I? I've been trawling back through posts but can't find it. Please put me out of my misery and let me know who you are so I can thank you! It's divine, and big, so there will be no mistaking who I am at Sew It Together!

Hope you are all travelling along well, it's a funny old, crazy old life isn't it? Lots of love to you all xo
