Kath holds classes in her workshop...teaching, sewing and exchanging postcards with Artists from all over the world...After making a comment on Kath's blog she so very generously offered me one...of my choice from a set of 6!!! This postcard arrived quite quickly...even she was surprised in the speed in which it arrived in!!! I adore textures, rich colours, sumptous fabrics (as in my 5 addictions below)...Upon taking the photo I couldn't resist having a background of my silk velvet jacket, hand dyed...and such a beautiful fabric to wear!! 
Temptation again for a background...this time a hooded satin masquerade gown... all the way from St. Marc's in Venice at Carnivale... that my Son brought home for me...the little card just looks so at home amongst these fabrics!!!
Then...reverse the card and it is addressed, stamped and has a message from Kath on it...apparently people do send them like this to each other, but this one came in an envelope. I am so thrilled with this Kath...and thank you so very, very much for your kindness and generosity!!! This is so very much appreciated...
It has been so warm here this week...so yesterday I took this pack out of the cupboard...purchased last week in a Tea Shop...with the most flavoursome, aromatic...Teas!!! Sampled this one at the shop... and thought...okay...perfect for a hot day!!! 
Turkish Apple Tea...I used cold water, ice cubes, mint leaves and sliced apple...and I actually had some Turkish Apple dried for tea, so this went in as well...delicious on these hot days...the sweetness can be moderated I think!!!
And...another lovely surprise...this time from Leslie...this award is to be forward to 7 other blogs...and like for the previous one I would like you, my friends to accept it for your sidebar as I find it too hard to choose!!!Enjoy this Australia Day long weekend coming up...crikey already!!! Perhaps there'll be a barbie...gool ol' pavlova...even lamingtons to enjoy!!!
