First my day. I spent the day with my dear friend Shez ......this was our REAL date that we had planned. Shez is such a wonderful hostess and tour guide. First up was the Button Shop at Buninyong....oh my goodness I found it so hard to choose!
Then of to the Ballarat Botanic Gardens.....
I took so many photos here that I am going to share them at the end of future posts because there are SO MANY ! There is an amazing glass house and this where special displays are held...we popped our heads in and Wow!
An absolute riot of colour.....beautiful real orchids were scattered amongst the "poor man's orchids"....
Within the gardens is a quaint little cottage which was moved to the gardens in 1934. It was the home of Australian poet Adam Lindsay Gordon....
The cottage is now a lovely little craft cottage showcasing local crafts people
It was the perfect finish to a wonderful day full of fun, friendship and perhaps some fabric.....not to mention those gardens!
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
All looks wonderful! The cottage is so charming ♥

ReplyDeleteIsn't Gail's patchwork a wonderland? And I love the Ballarat Botanic Gardens, my uncle and aunt live right near there, so I visit the gardens every time I visit them. Did you go to the POW memorial? My Dad's name is on the wall?
