I know. I signed up for their newsletter, but I've been too scared to look at their website. I'm trying to save money (and cupboard space)

Peters is a very serious shopping experience. I love how they have lackeys to take the stuff off your hands and deliver it down to the front desk. I also love how you can just drop your basket of goodies  and it will be found at the front desk. I love the up stairs and down stairs and the nooks and crannys. I love how you can shop on line for a ship load of stuff and have it delivered for cheap within a week. I just love Peters.

1. I didn't realize that was Dido and thought it was obbie.
2. Fantastic that two forum members got to meet each other in person
3. What is Peters?  I'm sure that whatever it is, I want it here.

 :o I am so envious! I wish I could meet GREATCHEN too! Yes, "Gretchen the Great" or maybe Greatchen for short?  ;)

I too was fooled by Obbie's avatar. I LOVED the Dido album from a few years ago, but have to confess I never saw a photo of her so did not recognize her here. Greatchen, you look so stylish, I think I would be truly humbled to meet you in person.  :)

btw, if I may ask that you all puleeze don't spend all your money at Pete's cuz I am preparing something new to appear in the Kitchen Kit shop some time in August. Though it's something quite small, that I use several times a day with my TMX, and it's inexpensive...  but you may just want to order up a whole lot of them  ;) :D ;)

( :'( waaaaaaa wish I could be at ForumFest too  :'( :-*)

Oh you crack me up laughing.
 ;D ;D ;D ;D
Yes the forum picture is Dido, a singer. I like her music...
Gretchen is great fun, you will love her.

My shop is a pump and irrigation shop, as Gert says, it used to be a very expensive restaurant, then it sat empty for years, so now its mine.

Yungaburra is a small village, with lots of old heritage buildings, but ours is restored really well.
we are across from the pub....

Maddy and Hally  it would be great as a kitchen shop, maybe one day.

We could sell the  HotMix Pro, do demos and hold cooking classes, have a cookbook section and a cafe.

Oh boy would we be working hard but having fun too. Imagine that.


I wonder what little goodie Helene has come up with in her shop?  She should give us a hint.
