Made in England, Susan grew up particularly enjoying collecting second hand books and visiting jumble sales for bargains. She moved to Australia where she developed a passion for 'Treasure' hunting in opportunity shops. This led to her home becoming a refuge for orphaned bears and an assortment of hand made objects. Susan loves to spend her time creating beautiful country crafts and writing poems about her creations and life experiences. When not busily sewing or writing Susan enjoys hosting themed afternoon teas for her friends and relaxing in her home on the beautiful Gold Coast. May you enjoy Simply Susan's musings.

Wow Factor

Look what I found in my garden this morning! Some red and white striped lilies, how gorgeous! I thought you'd enjoy seeing a snap of some more. They are so happy and cheerful.





What a beautiful day it has been, weather wise and activity wise. I have delighted in spending most of the day in the company of my daughter, she came over this morning in time for coffee, we enjoyed drinking that outside and then she played with her new camera, taking pictures of the garden, making it look sensational, I must say. This afternoon, we co-hosted a jewelry party for Destiny Rescue, a mission that seeks to rescue young girls from slavery and prostitution in various Asian countries. We were delighted to welcome many guests to hear about the mission, view and purchase the jewelry made by the girls and indulge in a spot of afternoon tea on our deck.
It was good for us to reflect on the fact that we live privileged lives in a wonderful country and to open our hearts and purses and get involved helping those in difficult circumstances.

How good it is to build happy memories.
Simply Susan
