1. If you were to open a shop, what would you sell? - an eclectic mix of books, craft (mainly fabric crafts) and pre-made items (e.g. women's skirts and pants with pockets!) with a little mini-cafe at the side selling goodies suitable for those with various dietary issues.
2. 3 things that go together well - garlic, tomato and olives - I should have been born in Italy.
3. 3 places you love to be - home, family friends' at Kenilworth (Sunshine Coast Hinterland), on a quilting retreat weekend.
4. Rate your multitasking skills - not bad if I'd had a decent night's sleep.
5. A purchase you've gotten great value out of - a jacket I bought soon after graduation (so I'd have something to wear to interviews) - over 15 years later and still doing well, partly because it isn't an obviously dated style.

4.1 out of a million
5.2nd hand rain jacket, $3 in 1998. Still going strong. Also hair clippers, $30 in 1999. Saved a LOT on haircuts over the years.

Dawn Merz said...

1. Used books and coffee. Because if there were no customers and business didn't go well, at least I would be surrounded by book with a coffee in my hand! Can't go wrong!
2. Graham crackers (kindof like digestive biscuits but 100 times nicer... lighter), roasted melted marshmellow, chocolate. Make it into a sandwich. S'mores anyone?
3. Iowa with family. England with friends and just because. Germany with my god-daughter whom I have neglected for so long.
4. Extremely high. Unless I am pregnant, during which time they are non-existent, which is a Very Odd Sensation for Dawn.
5. Planet Earth and Blue Planet with David Attenborough. Never ever regretted buying those DVD series. Whenever we watch them all four of us love love love it and marvel and I feel like we don't need to pay for the zoo and aquarium... it comes to our living room. Worship, wonder, entertainment. Even babysitting, as the kids will sit mesmerized for ages while I surf the net and read your blog. Great.

KIM said...

1. Was going to say books, but not sure I'd be okay parting with them so regularly ... same would go for artwork ... umm, maybe a coffeeshop? But don't like those hours! I think I'm not cut out to open a shop ...!

2. red, white and black

3. on the beach in the late afternoon, awake and writing at 1 am, on the ferry to manly late on a friday :)

2. Cup of tea, book, comfy chair.
3. My house. My work (I do love it there). My bed.
4. So-so. Depends on the day.
5. Every one of our umbrella strollers. We buy 'em cheap and use them till they die.

Pedro-Yep, I'm glad I invested in a Cintiq as well. It's great.

Beth- I was going to say those ingredients as well. So good. Especially on bruschetta.

Al- Bacon, cheese and banana? Seriously? Gotta say my stomach just churned a bit at the thought..

Karen- I'd visit that shop.

Cjed- There's a library near my work that I spend a lot of time in. It's a nice relaxing place to spend a lunchtime.

Laetitia- Wow, niche market!

Simone- Gotta love a bit of reuse. By the way, I need to dust off my uke, I reckon. It's been a while.

George- I've only been to Wottamolla once, but I loved it. Got to get back there soon.

Dawn- I really like that there's a cracker called 'Graham'. I have Planet Earth as well- it's a beauty!

Kim- I like the Manly ferry. It always feels exciting, heading over there.

Deb- yep, bed's the place to be. I love climbing in at the end of a long day. Bliss.
