has set the theme this week as...


Some people play this game picking items that they would actually wear or are on their wishlist.
Most of the items I pick I could not ever dare to wear.
These Friday's Fancies posts are pure fantasy for me.



Long Weekend



I don't know anything about Memorial Day Weekend because I'm a Aussie with no clue.
But if I had a long weekend, I'd love to get away with my husband to a nice hotel and spend some together time exploring the city.

a Song - Saturday's Song

I'm starting a new weekly spot here on

a Snap, a Set & a Song.

On Tuesday I play Tuesday's Tune.
That is usually a new song.
So I've decided to reserve Saturday's Song for a golden oldie.

Here's the first cab off the rank...



Last night I saw this on American  Idol and I thought they did an amazing job!
I love them all.

Here's the original...



Which one do you like best?

On Easter Sunday we were invited to a barbecue hosted by my husband's old high school friend and his lovely wife.

He also doubled as the Easter Bunny for the afternoon!
I'm still laughing over this pic!!

(Not my photo...snapped by Mrs Easter Bunny)

My set this week is a mix of Easter things and Lindy Hop style.

Hop

So much energy.

a Snap - Wordless Wednesday

We went home to the family farm for the Easter weekend.
I took lots of snaps, as you can probably imagine.
This is one of my favourites, a working tractor.
It reminds me of the hours I spent on the tractor with Dad when I was a kid.




Wordless Wednesday is one of my favourite ways to visit blogs.
Mainly pictures, not too many words to read, love it!

I'm adding a linky to my Wordless Wednesday post
because I'd can see your great photos from the week.

I'll still be linking up with Trish @ My Little Drummer Boys each week.
I'm just spreading the Wordless Wednesday love a little further.

a Snap a Set and a Song - Irish

my Snap

The most Irish thing we have in the house at the moment is this bottle of deliciousness that we bought to celebrate St Patrick's Day last Sunday.


my Set

In my set this week I've found a gorgeous dress that was designed by Sybil Connolly, the Irish designer who created fashions for First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy.
I've also added the very Irish claddagh and shamrock jewellery pieces.


Irish

My favourite Irish band is the Corrs.
I wonder what they're doing now.
I'd love to see them live!

a Snap a Set and a Song - Book

my Snap

The oldest book I own was my mother's when she was a girl.
There's something special about an old book.
Even if it is in a bad state of disrepair.


my Set

My set this week is based on a bygone era.
I love reading books set in the past.

Book

my Song

I loved this song in the 80s.
It still gets me bopping today.
