The apple of my eye

 

I am thoroughly enjoying my vacation time and am not entirely sure I can ever go back to work.

Nup, I just don't think my body, mind and spirit are up to it yet.

Maybe after a bit more time home. Like three years. Then I will see if I'm up to it.

Whilst making the most of my break we have been out and about, doing kid friendly activities and trying to fit in some mum friendly activities, like op shopping, as well.

I have dragged my poor little fella around to all of my local haunts, bribing him with a book from each and assuring him in each one that I will be "only five minutes more!"

The good boy complains a little, but at least not as much as his father. Yet!

I have had some lovely thrifted spoils lately with a few new frocks including this vintage inspired shirt waister in black with white polka dots.

 

 

It really is the most classic of combo's - black, white with a dash of red. You can't go wrong!

And this dress is so comfortable and so stylish, and with us in Melbourne expecting some scorchers this week, perfect for the hot weather.

 

 

And one of my new old brooches, the little rosy red apple, seems to be made for the ensemble.

I was overjoyed to discover this collection of lovelies at the same op shop and when told that I could have them all for 50 cents, was positively ecstatic.

 

 

Aren't they all adorable? I felt almost guilty handing over that measly amount. Guilty but still happy!

Another week of holidays to fit in more adventures, with us planning on visiting the old Melbourne Gaol (we are all a little obsessed after our Geelong gaol trip!), the beach, going roller skating and maybe, if I am lucky, a few more op shops. Fingers crossed!
