I've just stumbled upon your blog and see you were in the Southern Highlands - my folks are at Bundanoon - and have just moved west. I lived in the Central West and have friends much further out (much further). I hope you settle in and come to love it.Kate Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11731006032499344619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030861504339238132.post-52693464878402100972014-11-09T14:38:21.290+10:302014-11-09T14:38:21.290+10:30Loving that pyrex....I find it funny that I'm ...Loving that pyrex....I find it funny that I'm constantly drawn to pyrex lately!

I'm so glad I rescued it from the tip shop, the furniture is mainly kept outdoors there and with the on and off rain we've been getting it wouldn't have taken long to get water damage.<br />xZarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09577592390723365734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030861504339238132.post-83433194797567538742014-11-07T06:03:35.833+10:302014-11-07T06:03:35.833+10:30I love little milk glass, I have a few of the litt...I love little milk glass, I have a few of the little hobnail bud vases........I've also been known to use them as egg cups lol.
