Another Bundy Mini Break

Last year in March, I flew to Bundaberg Queensland, to visit my good friend Jan.  She lives in an idyllic location, right on the water, and her daughter (Sandy) has a house just a few houses from her.  Since Sandy is working interstate she was kind enough to allow me to use her house while I stayed. 


We had a mini holiday together.  Jan started work on Tuscan Villa and I worked on the English Cottage.  You can go back and check it out by clicking  here .  This year Jan wasn't able to come down to the Sydney Fair, and since we were 'so close' to Bundy (only 837kms away lol) I persuaded Peter that it would be a good idea to travel up there after Grey Nomads Camp.  That way he and Nathan could explore a bit of the place while Jan and I did some minis again.  And so here we are.  


We are staying in Sandy's house again.  This time it is empty except for a lovely big corner lounge, because she is going to rent it out soon.  I am happy to be able to show Peter the house - it is  light and airy, a lovely place to stay and I enjoyed my time here so much last year.  It is great to be able to share it with Peter this year.  We brought in Nathan's folding bed that we use in the annexe, and our mattress from the van, the television and dvr, our car fridge and a few bits and pieces and we are set.


On Friday Jan and I set up some folding tables and got stuck into our mini projects.  She has brought out Tuscan Villa again, and I have started on Candlewick Cottage, a kit from Petite Properties.  I won't be here very long and I wanted a quick project to start on.


Most of the day for me was taken up with the preliminary painting of pieces so there are no very exciting pictures to show your:


Jan made a kitchen for her Tuscan Villa.  She showed me the beautiful furniture that she has made for some of the rooms.  I love the Villa so much and the furniture so much that I'm becoming convinced that I might just have to get one myself too vbg.  Here's some of the furniture - isn't it lovely?

 


Sorry I don't have any photos of 'Tuscany Villa' - I hope to get some but it hasn't been the right time yet.
