Finally sharing all the pictures from our annual mother/daughter evening spent enjoying the St Nicholas Precinct Christmas Lights in my hometown of Ipswich! Although there seemed to be a little bit "less" this year (fewer lights, only a couple of food trucks, not much seating) we still had a wonderful time in the balmy night air (windtunnel by the library not withstanding) checking out the boutiques & market stalls, taking pictures by the light fixtures, eating some delicious poffertjes & sipping piping hot coffee while enjoying the "big band" playing Christmas Carols & hearing the laughter of little children as they ran & played in & around the lights while waiting for Santa's arrival.
For the occasion, I wore a gorgeous large-scale floral cotton smock dress with knee-length bubble hemline that I picked up at the delightful Oh Jo Jo Boutique, a pair of vintage chocolate brown leather & elastic sandals from the 1990s that I purchased for under $30 that had never even been worn (I had them resoled & they are perfection), a vintage chocolate brown leather crossbody bag from Shop 76 at the Ipswich Antique Centre to carry all the essentials while keeping my hands free & a selection of festive jewellery pieces to complete the look.

Finally, a few pictures from our small family Hannukah celebrations, lighting candles on the menorah & saying prayers for healing, peace, love & joy for the Jewish community, Messianic Jewish community, Christian community & all communities in Australia & the world as a whole in 2026...
A few special Hannukah gifts from some very dear friends...
