LOL. I bet she did. It is lovely Maddy. DD must be very happy.

Oh yes indeedy  :P LOL.....I have learnt my lesson  :)


Maddy - where do you find these gorgeous things?!?!?  Just love those shelves!! :D

I google images of what Im looking for, then find out where they're at  :)  Her book stand is a bakers shelf, so searched & found a new one on eBay....I really have given up hoofing it around stores...it usually is waste of time trying to find something different.
.........EAT CAKE!

Well, you've done really well!! Beautiful pieces of furniture!! I agree... Schlepping around to store after store in the hope you'll see something that you really like is just way too much!!!

I was just buying yet another Kribbit for my brother in the States and I noticed  that if you buy 3 or more you get a significient discount. Some may be interested in early Christmas shopping from http://thermomix.superkitchenmachine.com/collections/ipad-stand/products/kitchen-ipad-stand-kribbitt-pink

Also noticed a reduced price on bulk "dirty dozen" spatulas. I bought some of the "dirty dozen and I could find no faults at all in them except maybe a  small scratch or tiny knick. Helene must be super fussy about her super spatulas. LOL  Anyway I was very happy as they make great gifts for my friends who bake and sadly have no Thermomix..

Was also thinking Grace should take up the Green Kribbitt as it is the Thermomix green!

My seventh Kribbitt arrived today but this is for a friend.

Also this bag from Peters of Kensington. Leather made in Germany and smells wonderful as real leather should. Of course it is far to heavy and big for Cairns but a very desirable me thing.

The bag may be tad heavy for Adelaide as it weighs about a kilo! But it holds not only a large iPad but the Kribbitt as well

I would say I was small potatoes for the Kribbitt. THey are going all over the world  now. I think people want them not only because they are An excellent. Product but want to have an original hand produced item before someone copies it and makes a cheap nasty imitation. A bit like handbags eh?

Gert, I bought the dirty dozen spatulas from Helene, and found nothing wrong with them.

Love them, and are getting used all the time.

Lovely new bag  :)

I was just looking at those Kribbitt price breaks yesterday...I don't have an ipad myself, but was wondering about Xmas pressies for Mum, sis, bro & SIL who all have them now (SIL just got hers for her 40th which is actually this coming weekend...too late for me to get the kribbitt for then). 

Love the bag  :D

Only took about 10 days to here . You could give her an IOU for her Birthday with a picture of it and say you didn't get it yet as you wanted to know what colour she wanted .
