โจ๐ **WE'RE BACK FROM BRISBANE!** ๐โจ
After an amazing few days in Brisbane, we're officially on our way home!
Saying goodbye to dad was hard. Mum is still in the hospital and I have never said goodbye without her there so I may have had a big cry when I left. I did spend time with my son and his partner Shaun and Lana, that was great but missed seeing Marc & Candice.
The best news of all is that Mum is being discharged from hospital today and heading home with Dad to continue her recovery. Thank you to everyone who has sent kind thoughts, prayers and well wishes โ they have meant so much to our family. โค๏ธ
Of course, no Zen Gem Australia trip would be complete without a little crystal hunting! I spent hours exploring my favourite suppliers, catching up with wonderful friends in the crystal community, and hand-selecting some beautiful new treasures that I'll be bringing back for you all.
Now it's time to unpack, sort through all the goodies, and get ready for...
๐ **Willows Rotary Markets THIS SUNDAY** ๐
๐ **Row D** (near the shipping container)
Come and say hello, have a browse, and be among the first to see the new crystals, jewellery, carvings, fossils and treasures that came home from Brisbane with me.
I can't wait to catch up with everyone and share what I've found!
See you Sunday! ๐
