Can any one suggest where to find S&P Fifth Ave highball glasses?  I have tried Myer, David Jones and P&K.

So you have a Trade Secret near you DD? Ours is a bit out of our way but they do stock some S&P.


So, DH (would you believe) said, maybe we should get a food dehydrator. So of course (knowing that it had been on my "List" for ages) said maybe he should go out and look at them....

We now have a Sunbeam food dehydrator  :D :D :D

Thanks Jamberie, Trade Secret seems to be a NSW only store. I've found an online shop that stocks them but they are out of stock at the moment. I'll keep looking.

Well, after lying low for nearly a month with DD being sick first and then me, I have gone shopping in the last few days with a vengeance! A Global brand cook's knife from POK, a beautiful handbag for DD and one for me, a wallet, a skirt, pants and a lovely top. Hmm, I think I am on the mend. Off to lunch tomorrow with four dear friends.

A month without shopping Courton, you had to bust out sooner or later.

Love all the well deserved purchases
Jamberie let me know how your dehydrator works.

I have my thermomix sitting on a cutting board with a drawer underneath that I bought from Target.  I've stuck felt feet to the bottom of it which lets me slide it forward and backwards on the bench and I keep all of the bits I use all of the time in the drawer....ie scrapers, thermometer, teaspoons, spatulas.  I've actually bought two more of them...I have my embroidery sewing machine sitting on one of them with my commonly used threads, bobbins, scissors etc in it.

The link is http://shop.target.com.au/p/acacia-chopping-board-with-drawer/P53164674 if anyone is after one.
I eventually bought one of these and it is much larger than I thought - put it under my microwave instead of the TMX (which is right next to the mw) and have only TMX related things in it - spatulas, measuring spoons, etc.  So convenient having things right where I want them.  Thanks for posting this Stacelee.

Just a bit of holiday shopping, a pearl necklace and earrings or 2 from Halong Bay, silk stitched painting and a lacquer painting. Will post pictures later as they are wrapped.
