Day 180/366

Have you heard of yarn bombing?

It is the new 'urban art', an 'acceptable' form of graffiti. (But still illegal?)

Said to have originated in the Netherlands in 2004, yarn bombing, guerrilla knitting, yarn storming, or urban knitting, has since spread internationally.

I found this colourfully decorated tree across the street from my office in Surry Hills, Sydney. 

Yarn bombing does not only involve trees but any structure that it's possible to wrap in knitted, crocheted, or wrapped yarn.

Day 143/366

Tea Cup Tuesday

Such simplicity, such elegance.

Just what I've come to expect from Royal Albert.

Doesn't it just remind you of a ballerina's tutu?

Swan Lake I'd say.

Purchased from one of my favourite shops in Springwood, Frou Frou.

My Darling Daughter gave me a gift voucher on Mother's Day.  I should have enough left to buy another trio once Parisa finds some more.

The trio is in perfect condition.

The heavily embossed teaspoons are inherited from my Mother-in-law and are from the Netherlands. 

The handle is classical Royal Albert.

I have linked to Terri's Teacup Tuesday.

Do stop by and see what treasures others are sharing.
