Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 12 Comments/ 421

A Quick Look At Signs – Australia Style

Beth Ann Chiles/ Uncategorized/ 40 Comments/ 380

Aussie Love on Teapot Tuesday

Beth Ann Chiles/ Uncategorized/ 15 Comments/ 446

I only bought one teapot when we lived in Australia and this is it.  Of course it had to have some red on it, right?  I have shared this one before on the blog but it is worth sharing again and again. The manufacturer is Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Thoughts, Travel, Writing/ 6 Comments/ 682
