Lunch with friends

I have had such a lovely afternoon with Elyte and Marina. We spent an hour at Tranquility crafts choosing and buying some goodies. It's such a well stocked little shop and Joanne is so friendly. I was very happy to find a fabric that I have been looking for since I was here two years ago. You know when you carry a tiny scrap around in your purse for months searching for a fabric....very happy to find it again at Tranquility.

Then we had a scrumptious lunch at Puckle Street and talked late into the afternoon. Elyte and I had planned a mini swap to exchange while I was I here in Melbourne. I love my new mini. It has some elements from Elyte's new Stonefields quilt, and is made in my favourite French General fabrics. Thank you so much for making such a beautiful new addition to my mini wall.

Time spent with blogging friends is so good for the soul. Thank you!
I'll be back soon with a pic of my purchases.
