Is this the new face of neo-conservatism in Australia? A sulky pout and slightly furrowed brow - the grimace of the disenfranchised? One can only hope so.

I have a serious case of auctionitis, that, coupled with a slight napoleon complex has given me a mild case of the 'mean reds'. What if the auctioneer doesn't see me with my hand in the air? What if I lose all self-control and bid beyond our financial limit. Will I have to calm a screaming baby by breastfeeding while bidding? Will that break auction-etiquette? Could put a few punters off their stride I suppose. The auction is this Saturday @ 10am and I promise I will stop rabbiting on about it thereafter.

On a brighter note I got a scrumptious package of fabric from Marta. She's da bomb when it comes to gorgeous African wax print fabrics - check out her stuff here and her lovely blog here. Thanks Marta. I sent some of these and this in return.

Hope all is going swimmingly for you! xx

I say go for the screaming baby diversion. The only problem is, your baby never screams!

african prints are wonderful! I think it's going to be very trendy here in Europe next year. we started to see those prints in the Summer 08 shows and also it's starting in decoration...... I used to live in Ivory Coast all my adolescence so I am enjoy with those prints.

Hiya

Just came across your blog from sfgirlbybay and when I read about the african prints wondered whether you would like the tunics I make with these fabrics. I sell on Etsy under name of Artilugia. Sorry not trying to be pushy ! Hope you like !
love your house
