A day trip to the city (Adelaide) ....... DH and I started off Friday morning at 7.00 am to the big smoke for the day, Rained off and on most of the trip down .
(Approx 2 1/2 to 3 Hour drive depending on traffic and roadworks)
First stop ............Spotlight purchased a few cards and envelopes and a zip to be Incorporated in the gift I am making in one of the swaps (last of the big spenders LOL)
Next stop.......... DH and I had a nice cup of hot chocolate and a SMALL piece of carrot cake.
Then off to Hettie's Patch
Address: 294 Port Road Hindmarsh SA 5007
This is my first visit to Hettie's....................
Purchased the following ..........
The below is three nice..........absolutely beautiful fabrics with instructions to make a small
bag
And this......bit out of my normal colour range but just fell in love with it
And this......bit out of my normal colour range but just fell in love with it
Lovely bunnies on a soft pink ................just gorgeous
Followed by these great fabrics
Red and white ................Have not quite made up my mind what design I will make from these fabrics...................
Next Stop .....................Off to the Marion Shopping Centre
Where Lunch was..............Chinese ............. yum
Couple of hours being pushed and shoved .............. not really a good city shopper
no great purchases there.
Next stop .............Bunnings
DH purchased some new garden tools and I headed straight to the Garden Centre and purchased some Daisy seedlings and Veggie plants for a small Veg we have at home.
Then as we had a dinner appointment with friends back home in a small country town club .... at 6.30pm we started to head home...........
on the way home pasted this great church....... may be a bit blurry as I am in the car taking this photo as we zoom............. past in the traffic.
Home by 6.15pm ..........as DH and I walk in the back door the phone is ringing and the couple we are going out with for tea .....have to cancel.
A little relieved as I am feeling a bit tired.

Hi Marc,
Sounds like a hectic day trip :) It takes us about 3 hours from here to to get to Adelaide, so we must be close:)
A trip to Hettie's ........it's my second home. I couldn't believe the road works when I went to the Riverland the last time. It will be a much better journey when they are finished.
The fabrics you bought are wonderful!! Oh, so pretty. Those pink ones with the bunnies are wonderful!
