A Sunday in the markets...

Sunday morning we got up early and went to Carrara Markets on a mission! We were hunting for a laughing Bhudda; a special request from Lee Ann for the second floor landing of her house.

We found a seller of discount pots and homewares and were surprised at what was available for the home gardener, such as the giant elephant in back of the Bhudda on this photo. Also available were statues of Balinese
Godesses as large as my whole backyard!!! Think big!




So, the challenge will be to find a way to pack and transport Mr Bhudda back to Canada and not make him lose his smile!!!

The things available for purchase here in Australia are quite ecclectic, for want of a better word. Who knew they made and actually sold lighter holding Kangaroo Scrotums and that my husband would just be so amazed by them (that's it on top of the printer!) I guess it's for the man who has everything! Kind of nice to see that nothing of the animal is wasted though... I dont know where this prize will end up back in Canada. I suppose there's always EBay!

He really wears his new Aussie hat well!

My most amazing purchase though was this $1.50 celery that will last me a month even if I do decide to make celery soup!

The car races were on this weekend, so we tried to not wander out too far as the traffic was horrendous...but just staying around was great too and we were able to see from our balcony the firework show on Saturday night! It was beautiful!!! How I love fireworks!!!
