I'd like to sew curtains like that myself. How did she do it?<BR/><BR/>The crock was nice. I'm not sure what lemon cordial is, but I know ginger beer (do you have a recipe?)<BR/>Have a wonderful day!

Just wanted to say that when I popped on and saw the photo of the curtains, my instant reaction was "OHHH, she's finished them! They look great!" <BR/>It was as if you were one of my friends that I have coffee and a chat with. Aren't blogs fun!<BR/>ps. I'm envious of your veggie garden. Mine is in its 2nd year.

It gives the home a cosy-yet country look. I love your pottery crock for lemonade. One of my favorite things to have in my house in country pottery and if you can drink lemonade from it -it is even more useful. I forgot - it must be summer in Australia. I live in the U.S.A and it is Autumn. It is really pretty in New England with all the trees turning the leaves orange and red-golden. It's getting cold. Your curtains are just right for summer and winter.

The price you mentioned seems very high - you may be able to find something cheaper that rates as well as the ones you are looking at. I bought a fancy Italian stove a few years back, and was never really that impressed with it and wished I'd stuck with a good old Oz brand. Choice has a number of articles about what to look for in ovens and cooktops at their site at http://www.choice.com.au . You can buy a quarterly subscription for $18.95, or pay a few bucks for a one-off report. They also offer a buyers service for members, where they will find the best price for you once you decide on a brand. Might be worth a $20 investment? Also think about NRMA or other membership discounts.<BR/>I just looked at the Choice report for gas cooktops, and they recommend <BR/>WESTINGHOUSE GHL795S $1109 <BR/>BOSCH NGT 915 IAU $1249 <BR/>MIELE KM 390 G $1899. The report was a little dated, but not too old.<BR/>Otherwise, if you haggle like crazy at Harvey Norman or Bing Lee, their sales people will usually come down to get a commission if you're persistent (my son used to work there), and also make sure you insist on a discount of at least 5% for cash payment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-54195026428501404102007-10-21T10:28:00.000+10:002007-10-21T10:28:00.000+10:00Hi Rhonda Jean :) The curtains and tea towel are s...Hi Rhonda Jean :) The curtains and tea towel are so pretty - love those reds!
