I'm on Kangaroo Island for the weekend, checking out their amazing food producers, and will be spending up big at the farmers market this morning.
I can't wait!

Colour me green!

I found these little snack containers at the supermarket, so the kids will be getting "le snak"s in their lunch boxes.   :)
Quite a lot cheaper than on the website too - only (NZ)$6.99, and of course no postage on top of that.  
I bought the last 2 in the shop.  They also had the sandwich wraps of the same brand on clearance ($4), so got a couple of those to help keep wraps together (DD's playcentre is glad wrap free, and they just don't always hold together that well with nothing).

Yes, reusable - and there's a little dip spreader knife that clips into the lid, which the kids will love too (until it gets lost, of course).

Lucky you Amanda. Is it an organised tour? They do about 3-4 organised foody tours a year. Would love to go on one.

Could this be our forum fest for next year Michelle and Amanda?

Gorgeous GHM.  Car broker is a good idea.

Love the dip containers Jo.  I picked up similar sandwich wraps at a market last year and they are great for kinder and school lunches. And no messy glad wrap :D

Love the dress and shoes. They will look lovely.

You'll be pleased with those purchases Kim.
