Tuesday Treasures



One of my favourite things is going out for breakfast, especially with John and especially on a Sunday morning.


A new cafe opened just up the road from us and so on Sunday morning we went to Tancks Corner at 461 Ironbark Road Yarrambat. (94361700). 
I had mushrooms flavoured with thyme and served with a soft creamy feta and a poached egg on sour dough toast. Accompanied by a pot of lovely hot tea, it was the most delicious breakfast dish I've had in quite a while.
I treasure these leisurely starts to the day.  Breakfast is generally an inexpensive meal, the air is crisp and fresh, I'm really hungry so everything tastes extra good and I start the day feeling goodwill towards the whole world.


What do you treasure?  It can be a thing, a person, a place.  Anything you want.  Just pop your details into Mr Linky and join in the fun.


GIVEAWAY WINNER
A huge thank you to everyone who shared their fabulous pets last week.  I really enjoyed reading every post and sharing in the love we give to and receive from our little darlings.
The winner of this fabulous book 

is MARICARMEN from Palabra de Patchwork
Congratulations


A NEW GIVEAWAY


Michelle Ridgeway of Rag Tag Stitchin' is one of our most talented designers and she is the loveliest person and she is one of my dear blogging friends.  She recently released her second little book of stitcheries.  This 'one has drawings you can use to stitch for friends or loved ones when you want to express that special little sentiment or add to another gift.'


Michelle has kindly sent me one of these beautiful stitchery books and some exquisite fabric as a giveaway prize.  I've added in some linen, thread, buttons and a scissor fob. 


 And so here is this week's giveaway prize.

There are two ways to enter

  • Share a treasure with us all for one entry
  • Leave me a comment on this post for one entry
Do both and you will have two entries.  I'll close the competition next Monday evening and announce the winner next Tuesday.


FABULOUS FREE STUFF
How gorgeous is this modified wrench block from The Happy Zombie.  It's always fabulous fun to visit Monica at her inspiring, colourful happy blog.

    The girls at work try to get together for regular breakfasts. They are on a morning before work but that 90 minutes is a great start to the day. The last time we went I had the mushroom plate with fetta too - yummo. Of course, nothing beats a leisurely Sunday brekkie. Lovely giveaways. Tracee xx

    What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning. Can we swap?

    My Sunday usually involves a pre-dawn start with cartoons blaring on the television, kids playing and fighting and then playing and then fighting some more. Cheerios or eggs (if I'm feeling kind) and sometimes, we even manage to get to church.

    I was at Tancks Corner on Sunday morning too! What time were you there Mel? We just stopped for coffee and were very good and just shared a scone with jam and cream (Noel's on a diet but couldn't resist)! Come to think of it, I think we were there closer to lunch, about 11.30. Lovely giveaway. Thanks for the chance.

    I agree, there's nothing better than a leisurely weekend breakfast- especially when you haven't had to prepare it. Even better when shared with special people.
