I picked up a much-needed new small chopping board for the kitchen. It's not only lovely because of its looks but its also sustainably harvested Australian hardwood (camphor laurel) made by a small Australian company based in Queensland. It also smells wonderful and, I'm told, has life-long natural anti-bacterial properties.
The only downside was the company's name, Fab Slabs, was branded (in the old-fashioned burned-on sense) onto the board in a not-particularly attractive typeface. It looked to me like a regretted tattoo after a wild night out so I decided to do tame the beast and perform a spot of abrasive surgery and sandpapered it off.
I'm sure it would have thanked me if it could.
Things have not been going my way of late. I've just gotten caught up on all your posts -- from your lovely patchwork pillows to that sweet baby dove; the happy animals and the Ikea ornaments. Your patio garden -- lovely! Everything is looking wonderful in your corner of the world. Have a great rest of the week. Tammy
