This morning shortly after I awoke, my mother excitedly asked if I wanted to go thrift shopping (or op-shopping)! Which was a nice idea because it has been a million and a half years since I've properly been so we got ready and off we went! It never ceases to amaze me that in Australia, if you drive for around 10-15 minutes out of the city area you arrive in a country area!
Our drive was made even better as one of the radio stations was having a 60s special so lots of Beatles singing was had :) I must say though, I think we did murder the song Gloria just a little...Anyway we ended up going to three shops. The first of which was slightly questionable, it was a bit run-down and the people in charge looked more like people from the Deliverance than shop people but there you go.
I ended up with a great haul of stuff, one of which was those tan shoes in the picture above which I absolutely adore. I've wanted shoes like that for ages and I was in Sydney a few weeks back and could've bought a pair then but it was around the $100 mark and I was trying to be good! But these lovely ladies were only $5! Well one shoe said 5 and the other 5.50 so there must've been a disagreement with the shop ladies! :P
Last night I was itching to try out these new icing pipe bags I bought so I made some butter cupcakes! I'm quite proud of myself as I made the recipe up myself because I couldn't find my 101 cake recipe book anywhere :( But they tasted even better than the ones in the book so that is definately a keeper and I;ll be sure to put it on little sparrow bakery!
I'm worrying about my cupcake ways, I seem to be making quite a lot. And the other day I made cookies for afternoon tea and I don't know about others but when I bake I like to be comfortable so I throw on ill-fitting clothes. Anyway, I was bringing the plate of cookies down when I looked at my shirt there was a great big picture of The Cookie Monster with even bigger letters declaring "ME LOVE COOKIES" Needless to say I was horrified, I don't think it was doing any favours for my image but such is life.
