AUSTRALIA DAY

I hope that everyone had a great Australia day. How lucky are we? On the Sunshine Coast the weather was true to its name....clear blue skies and a sweltering 33 degrees.

The fish were 'on' and my handsome husband caught us a sweetlip off the beach here at Peregian.

I made a delicious passion fruit Pavlova and 2 traditional meat pies to eat with mash and mushy peas, could you get any more Aussie that that??

Pavlova Recipe

4 eggs

1 cup sugar

1/2 tablespoon cornflour

1 teaspoon lime juice

1. Lightly dampen greaseproof paper and cut to size of plate

2. beat egg whites till stiff and frothy

3. Gradually add sugar

4. Fold in flour and lime juice

5. Spread into Pavlova shape on prepared plate

6. Bake in oven slow, 150 degrees for 2 hours

7. When cool top with cream and fruit

Back to the shop tomorrow, i must show you the most divine Vintage kiddies cozzies made by local Nola Wilson, so so cute.

Until then,

Hello and welcome!

Hello and welcome to my blog, forgive me if i am a bit sketchy at this its my first time!

I decided to create this blog as a way of promoting my store, South Peregian Trading Co. and to get in touch with all you lovely past, present and future customers.

South Peregian Trading Co. is my little baby and located in beautiful Peregian Beach, on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland.

It has evolved into locally sourced jewellery, art, fashion and leisurewear .

The store is also unique in that it hosts various after hours classes for all ages such as French lessons, knitting and life drawing.

I will be updating as much as possible so I'll keep you posted!!
