Day 174, resource rescue and afternoon winter bbq

Today Andee and I went on an adventure to check out the "resource rescue" centre in bayswater.
This recycling centre has been running for over 20 years now and has recently relocated to the outer melbourne suburb of bayswater (just 5 minutes drive from our home).
Located in an industrial estate this warehouse collects off-cuts from factories and companies around Melbourne, anything from cardboard, foam, bottles, frames, fabric, wire, metal, plastic, tape.... its endless, a crafters dream! They supply a large amount of pre-school's with craft supplies and you can fill a garbage bag for $25 bucks!!! check it out at http://www.discountcraftsupplies.com.au/
I think this will become my new favourite shop!

as for todays craft its a little lame...
we were heading to a friend's birthday for a lazy saturday afternoon BBQ
and I had a bag of clothes for their 2 year old daughter, so I made a big bow for the gift bag
using some newspaper...
i actually ended up sticking it together in the car, "HA MOBILE CRAFT"

at the winter afternoon BBQ I was admiring their laden down citrus trees!!
such tiny trees and soooo much fruit! (lemons and mandarins)
 and a little afternoon fire was in order for the chilly winter day
craft out
xxoo
