Tomato sauce

It seems a little decadent but I am having two parties to celebrate turning 30. One of them is a casual bbq with my large extended family on a Sunday afternoon.


I have sourced a few fun things to make it a bit different from an everyday bbq including these tomato tomato sauce bottles! So fun and novel, they will make a great centre piece for each table.


I also have these straws that I found on etsy coming from over the seas. I love the old fashioned feel of paper straws and the heart pattern is very sweet.

Kiama break


My family has been holidaying with friends at Kiama for 10 years. On this annual break all the 'adults' inhabit the beach front cabins and the 'kids' (we are now all aged between 21 & 29) drop by whenever we get a chance.

Every morning and afternoon we go for a dip in the surf. The rest of the time is spent barbecuing on our little verandas, pottering around the shops in Berry and enjoying the beautiful  boardwalk through Minnamurra Rainforest.

I am looking forward to heading down for the weekend. It will be lovely to be by the beach for a few days particularly because Sydney has been sooooo hot!
