The Kiama Farmers’ Market is held every Wednesday at Surf Beach, located on Manning Street.

Do not forget tomorrow  is Kiama Farmers’ Market afternoon, held at Surf Beach, located on Manning Street.

You couldn’t wish for a more picturesque backdrop for your weekly shopping expedition! The market is started each week by the “ringing” of the bell and runs from 3pm to 6pm when Daylight Saving is in place and then reverts to 2pm to 5pm in the cooler months when Daylight Saving comes to an end. No market trading takes place until the bell has been rung.

This is a true farmers’ market that cares about the origin of food and the protection of local growers, producers and makers. A market where kids play on the beach, skim stones across the harbour, fossick in the rock pools or sit on the grass to have an afternoon picnic snack or early dinner.

Each week you will find a wonderful selection of seasonal produce being sold directly to you by the farmer or maker. Along with fruit and vegetables, you can expect to find seafood; oysters; local Wagyu beef; honey; eggs; milk straight from the dairy; gelato made from local milk; cider; wine; mushrooms; cakes and tarts; preserves; sourdough bread, street food, ready-made meals… and more!

Decorative touches

  

Placing statues, sculptures and urns between trees or in the centre of the lawn adds a charming decorative touch to your outdoor area. For a formal garden, look for classical Greek or Roman figures, or for a Victorian feel, pretty statues of cherubs or angels should do the trick. In addition, wooden signs and wrought-iron artworks are right at home in an outdoor setting. Why not hang some wind chimes from tree branches to create a calming ambiance, or put a sundial among the flowers to conjure up the image of a traditional English garden?

A beautifully designed planter or small water feature can add an elegant look to an outdoor area and bring some colour and greenery to an empty corner. And, if you’re keen to attract native wildlife to your garden, include a bird bath or feeder – these come in a variety of styles ranging from traditional to modern and are often quite inexpensive.

Don’t forget that less is more – avoid crowding your yard too much. Add just a few attractive accessories for an easy and inexpensive way to turn your outdoor area into a warm and welcoming space that everyone can enjoy.

I am back!

Hello there,
I am back, we had a ball and are thankful for the experience! I'm now ready to get back to the real world, refreshed and energized!  We experienced some amazing adventures as we immersed ourselves into the different cultures. We ate some great food and seen some spectacular sites.

I'm looking forward to getting back into real estate and  sharing my blog with you.

 See below some holiday snaps!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all. I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year with your friends and family. I certainly did, Cairns and Port Douglas was amazing! Spending time with family and friends in Kiama was priceless!

I am excited about the new year ahead. First out for the year I will focus on the "Statement pieces for your home". They say every room should have at least one Statement piece or idea! Maybe that's a bit extreme, however lets get your buyers excited.

Inexpensive-yet-chic home goods are easy to come by these days, ones that will add that signature, they cross-the-t-and-dot-the-i and they’re ripe for the picking. Check out some of the cheap shops you will be surprised at what you may find.

Your  home is simply another platform on which to paint your style. Creating a home that speaks who you are and what you’re all about doesn't have to cost more than a mortgage payment.

The great thing about adding that statement piece to your lounge room or spicing up your bedroom or cooking up a new look for your kitchen is that the statement will last a little bit longer than, say the flying ducks on the wall. The beauty of this is that you can get a lot of mileage out of pieces you didn't pay a lot for. Your home will feel more modern and enticing to the buyers. I think this month is going to be fun!

Throughout the year there will be tips on how to do a quick makeover, what are the most important areas or rooms to focus on if you can't do the whole house, how to do it on a budget and do’s and dont's for the quick styler.

So tag along and check the posts for some great tips and idea's. And don't forget to sign up for the monthly summary HERE if you haven't already done so. And tell your friends to sign up. If you know someone that is about to put their house on the market and would like some tips and ideas direct them to my blog. Or get them to call me on 0407126077 as I would love to assist them.

Cheers to an outstanding 2015
