Greetings!!
What a great start to the week, my new camera arrived yesterday! I've decided to upgrade slightly so I think it's gonna take a few days to figure out how to work it. I will read the instructions before using...
In other news, this Saturday was spent wandering around the local market in Kilmore. It's one of my favourites because it is quite small and while the traders rotate throughout the region each weekend, there is a man in Kilmore I can never find at any of the other markets.

Twentieth Century Teenagers by a Friend of Youth. |
"Teen time is wonderful time! It can also be a trying time" states the blurb inside this little book by the Daughters of St Paul from the 1960s.

I really couldn't go wrong for 50c. Plus, just look how cute the cover is!
Speaking of cute... Check out the graphics on this box for Original Mitcham Lavender
by Potter & Moore! So pretty.
And, leaving the most exciting find for last...
Six sequin & beaded flowers still on their original card! An absolute bargain at $5.
Oh, how I love our country markets.
