There’s something rather wonderful about a good day of thrifting… you never quite know what you’re going to find, and sometimes the treasures just seem to find you.

I came home with quite the collection this time!

Two beautiful vintage silver biscuit trays — far too lovely to leave behind and destined to make an appearance on our tables.

An extra-large white damask tablecloth, 170 × 180 cm, which will be perfect for one of our special dinners, along with the most gorgeous damask linen napkins embroidered with roses and deer. I can already picture a beautiful table setting with these.

There was also a lovely rose bowl, a little silver pill box that has already been reassigned to hold my sewing needles, and some good old-fashioned Tupperware — one for snacks and one for cake. Some things simply never go out of style!

And of course…

I couldn’t possibly come home without a few cookbooks. 😂

I love giving old pieces a new life. There’s something special about using things that have already had a story before they came to you — and wondering where they’ve been, whose table they once sat upon and what celebrations they may have been part of.

Now they get to begin another chapter here at Sabo’s on Severn.

Thrifting: part treasure hunt, part history lesson and apparently, in my case, part occupational hazard. 😂

A little afternoon serenity at Sabo’s…

There’s something rather special about this time of the afternoon. The sun begins to soften, the birds are singing their afternoon songs, the farm is settling down and a beautiful sense of peace washes over our little corner of the Granite Belt.

After the week we’ve had, with fires far too close for comfort, a few sleepless nights and the worry that comes with living in the country, moments like these feel just that little bit more precious. ❤️

As I sit here listening to the birds, watching the animals and looking out over our beautiful gardens bursting into spring, I’m reminded just how lucky we are to call this place home.

Life in the country isn't always picture-perfect. Mother Nature certainly likes to remind us who's in charge! There are challenges, worries and days when things don't quite go to plan. But somehow, our beautiful little community always finds its way through, looking out for one another and coming out the other side.

And then there are afternoons like this…
The birds are busy, the blossoms are appearing, the garden is waking up and spring is showing off in all her glory. The world seems to slow down, if only for a little while.

A moment to be grateful for our wonderful firefighters, our neighbours, our friends and this incredibly beautiful part of the world we get to share.
Sometimes the greatest luxury is simply sitting still, listening to the birds and appreciating what's right in front of you.

Here's to spring, new beginnings and the beautiful serenity of country life. 🌿🌸❤️
Love from our little patch of paradise at Sabo's on Severn.

This is just a bit to close 🥹

UPDATE: We are safe this morning.

After a very scary evening & night with fires far too close for comfort, we just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who messaged, called, checked in on us, offered prayers and kind thoughts, and even offered us somewhere safe to stay if we needed to leave.

It means more than you probably realise.

For now, we are safe and continuing to watch closely for any further developments. The wind has hopefully turned in our favour and is pushing the fire back onto already burnt ground, so we are keeping everything crossed that things continue to settle.

Most importantly, an enormous THANK YOU to our firefighters and emergency crews.

While the rest of us are watching, worrying and wondering what might happen next, these incredible people are out there on the fireground protecting homes, properties, animals and our community.

It is difficult to put into words just how grateful we are for what you do, particularly during those frightening hours when fire is close and everything suddenly feels very uncertain.

To our firefighters, volunteers, emergency services, neighbours, friends and our beautiful community — thank you.

We are safe, we are grateful, and we are keeping a very close eye on things today.

Stay safe everyone.

Lizzie & Joe, Teddi & Bear 🐶🐶, all the alpacas, sheep chickens & ducks 🙏

✨ A LITTLE LOOK BACK AT CHRISTMAS IN WINTER 2026 ✨

We’ve been a little quiet on here lately… but before we tell you what we’ve been dreaming up behind the scenes, we thought we would share a few of our favourite moments from a truly wonderful Christmas in Winter 2026. ❤️🎄

Looking back through these photos reminded us just how special those winter evenings were.

Every Saturday our little country dining room was filled with twinkling lights, roaring fires, beautiful food, Christmas wishes, laughter and the most wonderful people.

We cooked, we poured w**e, we made a few hundred Christmas dinners 😆, and somehow another Christmas in Winter came and went far too quickly.

To everyone who travelled to the Granite Belt to spend an evening with us, to our wonderful locals who continue to support us, and especially those who return year after year — thank you.

Special thanks to Di & Steve our special Christmas elves you are more than friends & we love the fun and laughter we create with you guys.

To our staff Amanda Tiana & Gidge thank you it’s been a mad season 🤗 couldn’t have done it with out you guys ♥️♥️

We absolutely love seeing familiar local faces around our tables alongside visitors discovering our beautiful Granite Belt. That wonderful mix of locals and travellers is part of what makes these evenings so special to us. ❤️

You are the reason we get to keep dreaming up these slightly crazy ideas.

And speaking of crazy ideas…

We may have already started planning Christmas in Winter 2027.

And next year, we’re going through the wardrobe.

CHRISTMAS IN WINTER 2027 — NARNIA
The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe!

Think snow-covered forest…
candlelight and crystal
silver and winter white
a wardrobe that leads somewhere rather unexpected
beautiful winter food
roaring fires
and just a little bit of Sabo’s magic.

We have an entire world taking shape in our heads — and if you know us, you know we won’t be doing it by halves!

There is lots more to share over the coming months, but for now…

Thank you for making Christmas in Winter 2026 so special.

Enjoy a little look back at the magic. ❤️

And as for next year…

Through the wardrobe we go.

With love,

Lizzie & Joe xx

Where Country Hospitality Becomes an Experience and memories are created ♥️

08/07/2026

Some of the best moments at Sabo’s can never be planned… they simply happen.

As the fire crackled, glasses were topped up, and stories were shared, our incredibly talented guests picked up their guitars and filled the evening with beautiful music.

These are the moments that make country escapes so special—strangers becoming friends, laughter echoing through the homestead, and memories being made around a warm fire under the stars.

Thank you for sharing your talent and making the night one we’ll never forget. ❤️

This is what Sabo’s is all about… country hospitality, genuine connection, and magical moments.

07/07/2026

Some weekends remind us exactly why we do what we do. ❤️

This Christmas in Winter weekend was one of those.

Watching strangers become friends, seeing couples linger over dessert and a glass of Granite Belt w**e, hearing laughter echo through the dining room, and watching everyone gather around the fire—it was simply magical.

In a world that moves so quickly, it’s a privilege to create a place where people can slow down, connect, and simply enjoy being together.

These are the moments that can’t be put on a menu.

Special people creating special memories.

To every guest who chose to spend your weekend with us, thank you for trusting us to be part of your story. We hope you leave with full hearts, happy memories, and a little Christmas magic that stays with you long after the fire has gone out.

From our family to yours, thank you for making Sabo’s on Severn feel so alive this weekend. We already can’t wait to do it all again next Saturday.

With love,
Lizzie & Joe ❤️

🎄 A New Tradition Begins at Sabo’s on Severn 🎄
What started as a dream has become one of the highlights of our year.
Our very first dinner for our Christmas in Winter has been nothing short of magical, and we are absolutely delighted to share that every Saturday throughout June, July and August has completely booked out! ❤️✨

From candlelit tables beneath thousands of twinkling lights, to warm apple strudel dusted with snow-like icing sugar, decadent tiramisu, festive desserts and local w**es, and the evening filled with laughter, friendship and the joy of gathering together.

There is something truly special about celebrating Christmas in the middle of a Granite Belt winter. The crisp air outside, the warmth of the room, the glow of candlelight and sharing a beautiful meal with old friends and new.

To everyone who has joined us so far, thank you for embracing this new tradition and filling our home with such warmth and happiness. Seeing every Saturday book out has been incredibly humbling and reminds us why we love creating these experiences.
Christmas in Winter is now officially part of the Sabo’s story, and we cannot wait to make it even more magical in the weeks ahead ♥️
With grateful hearts,
Lizzie & Joe

We had the pleasure of attending the soft opening of Meteora Vineyard this weekend, and what a wonderful addition to the Granite Belt w**e scene it is.

From the moment we arrived, it was clear that a great deal of thought, passion and hard work has gone into creating something truly special. The venue itself is beautifully designed, offering stunning views, a relaxed atmosphere and the perfect setting to enjoy the region's exceptional w**es.

The food was equally impressive, thoughtfully crafted to complement the w**es. Every detail reflected a genuine commitment to hospitality and creating a memorable guest experience.

Congratulations to the entire Meteora team on this exciting milestone. We know firsthand the dedication it takes to bring a vision like this to life, and you should be incredibly proud of what you've created.
We'll certainly be recommending Meteora Vineyard to our guests at Sabo's on Severn and look forward to watching your journey unfold.

If you're visiting the Granite Belt, make sure Meteora vineyard is on your list. We think you'll love it as much as we did.
Cheers to new beginnings and continued success!
