The Farmer bought me a new bike to ride when we are at the beach. It's blue and it's a Malvern Star! I am super excited because my first ever bike was a Malvern Star. Malvern Stars have come a long way since then. My first one had backpedal brakes and no gears. My new bike has handbrakes on the front and back wheels and lots of gears. I was in danger of going over the handle bars at various times when I used the front brake and not the back.

| My New Bike |
We all went for lots of bike rides. I had to ride behind Farmgirl. She has a "hello trees, hello flowers, shiny thing, shiny thing" approach to riding in a straight line. We didn't go very fast....
My new bike came with a new helmet.

It is a very high tech looking helmet. I feel a bit like Batman when I wear it.
One of the Nannas in the street The Beach House is on had a garage sale. I bought some lovely nanna china.

And a gorgeous new fruit bowl thingy.

My garage sale purchases made my day. They fit right in with the casual, nanna by the sea vibe I am aiming for with The Beach House decor.
I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend.

Must have been the weekend for it - beach time and bying op-shop stuff.
I did the same (well, Antique shop....but similar sort of thing). The weather was splendiferous!
You're the coolest nana-by-the-sea I've ever come across. Very noice.
Very noice, very unusual....
Love the nanna teacup and the gorgeous Malvern star- my first bike too= a red one. Sounds like a blissful weekend.
LOVE your nanna-by-the-sea vision :) Just spotted what I think are the white Ingolf Ikea barstools?? I am thinking about getting them when we (finally) get our island bench in the kitchen, are they good/not too Ikea-crappy??
Hi Emma
They are actually the Ingolf dining chairs. They are great. Very sturdy and well balance. I am sure the stools would be the same quality.
I LOVE garage sales! What excellent purchases! And a new bike? How lucky for you!!
