I wandered into what has recently become my favourite Op-shop and found this jacket.

Day off...
We both needed a day off so we headed down to Cottesloe Beach to see the Sculptures by the Sea exhibition.
It was seriously hot and really crowded.
'Counter' - $22,000This one got my vote.
'Evidence - the Trail Continues'
made from
plastic milk bottle lids & red plastic ties its can be yours for
$10,000.I made an executive decision and gave Dans absentee vote to this one.
'Renaissance Garden Pleasure Pavillion'
An aussie icon, complete with crow, satellite dish, party lights, radio tuned into the horse races and a bloke complaining he just wants to be left alone!
This one could be yours for $22.000This was one of two I could have lived with,
'The Kiss'$49,000
Stella voted for this huge wooden box covered in painted faces, saying she'd love it as her wardrobe.
This one was very special, made from marine grade stainless steel and looking like a delicately carved bead. It's one of 6 and costs $66,000.

Sold Out!
200 Librarians and teachers hung off her every word
and then they lined up to get Rebecca to sign the remaining Isabella's Garden books left in the country!
The publisher met with Reb recently to tell her that Isabella's Garden had sold out & was at the publishers being re-printed and that it is the fastest selling children's illustrated book in Australia EVER!It was a fabulous night & I'm so glad Rebs son couldn't make it, so I could. Not only was it entertaining listening to 20 authors & illustrators talk about their books & themselves, there were drinks and the food was really yummy!
As nervous as Rebecca was she was the best speaker on the night.
She spoke with sincerity, humility & honesty, sharing the journey that brought her to be standing in front of them. I sat toward the back and could see the audiences collective reactions. They laughed when she talked about not needing to pack eggs at the local chicken farm anymore, they sat up when she revealed the book was in reprint, they sighed when she spoke of the gallery owner that went bankrupt owing her thousands and I tried not to cry because I was just so damned proud!
