GIVEAWAY!!!! What could it be?

I have some very exciting news to break, but lets make it even more exciting with a giveaway.

That's right a giveaway! Tell all of your friends and family!

DID I SAY THAT LOUD ENOUGH?

A GIVEAWAY!

Over the next 2 weeks I am going to post some images from the inside and outside of one of Ipswich's Historic Buildings. I want you to email me in 25 words or less, what you would do with this building if it was yours to restore. Maybe its a Theatre Restaurant, or a Wedding Reception Venue. The possibilities are endless.

At the end of the 2 weeks the entrant with the most creative use of this space will win a

Peg & Kate Lunch Bag.

There will be an extra prize for the first person who can name the building from the images and the year it was built. I think a set of 6 Lyra Metallic Colour Giants Pencils would be a good prize.

So email your entries to info@pegandkate.com.au. I will post as many of your responses as I can. So get that imagination flowing, and tell me what you would do with this fabulous site.

I look forward to hearing your suggestions.

Here are the first images. What could it be?

Email your entry to info@pegandkate.com.au

Entries close 8pm Thursday 13th May 2010.

The winners will be announced on the blog

Friday 14th May 2010. Good Luck!

USQ's Jazz, Wine & Blues

Playground at Queens Park Ipswich

What are your plans for the weekend?

Why not head out to Queens Park, Ipswich for Jazz, Wine and Blues.

The Festival forms part of the Ipswich Festival 2010, and starts

from 1pm Saturday going till late.

If you haven't already checked out Queens Park then you may very well have

missed out on one of the Great South East's best parks.

Bring the kids and a picnic blanket and enjoy some good old fashioned fun in Ipswich.

Queens Park, has a fabulous new cafe, so if you haven't time to pack a picnic lunch then grab

a bite to eat on the verandah, taking in views of the park.

Two words "Flying Fox". Very popular with the kids and the adults. Once you have had your fill of the Flying Fox, then take a walk over to the Animal Park. For a gold coin donation you can stroll through the animal park and see all sorts of local native animals. Kids can even get hands on with the baby farm animals in the petting zoo.

If you are after something a little more tranquil and reflective then the Japanese Gardens are

for you. Once you are calm and centred, then head back over the the main park and sit back and relax to your favourite jazz and blues tunes..... It doesn't get any cooler than this. If you are looking for some sophisticated deli treats, then its worth popping into "Fedup" on the corner of Limestone St and Thorn St, a short stroll from the Jazz and Blues Festival.

Just another reason why Peg & Kate call Ipswich home.

Hope to see you there.

A parcel from Tassie

A good friend from Tassie mailed me a wonderful parcel filled with fabulous gift cards, note books and shopping list pads. I love them so much I just had to share them with you.

Christine from Gypsy Two Designs has been selling her beautiful wares at the Salamanca Markets in Tassie, and would love to find a retail outlet here in Brissie.



I'm very happy to inform you that Belleville Kids Boutique of Annerley
will be stocking them very soon.
So keep watching the Belleville blog posts to see when they arrive in store.

I have no doubt they will be just as popular here in Brissie as they are on the ultra groovy Salamanca Market.


If you have a retail outlet and are interested in stocking these fabulous little cards, let me know and I will be more than happy to put you in touch with Christine.

Introducing Miss Rose

Introducing my best buddy Miss Rose.

Miss Rose is very involved in the Peg & Kate label. And is always
asking me for ways she can contribute to Peg & Kate.

She is a huge help to me at the Markets. I don't know how
I would manage without her.

So when I suggested she start writing a regular piece on the blog
she was naturally very excited.

Miss Rose is going to be talking about something that all kids love.

Online games! Miss Rose and her friends are always finding new and exciting
games online, so she has decided she will share a few of them with our Peg & Kate
followers.

Miss Rose will be trialling the games and then giving them a Fun Rating. So stay
tuned for Miss Rose's spot about Online Games.
