My gifts

Earlier this week I received some mail from the little girl in London, England.

Guess what her favourite animal is? Then, the next day...

 








I received a little package from England in a puffy envelope. I was so glad it was all in one piece.


My very own Welsh sheep from Cardiff Castle in Wales (St. Fagans Pottery) and...

some magic beans. Apparently, they rise to the surface and you can read the words after planting.

Some new books were acquired too. The Follett one I bought and the other two were from my son Eric, the teacher. I watched the movie "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" with my daughter and I really liked it - even if it did have subtitles. He saved me from buying a copy - which I thought of doing for Christmas and then lending it to the females of the family. Must get the other two now. I also had a wonderful meal out with the family that lives close - and of course, that wonderful news.

Busy sewing still.

  5. Great goodies, Dolores! I love all your books...I'm going to have to get that Stuart McLean one! I've also read all Stieg Larsson's books...he's really popular here in Denmark. What a tragedy he died so early.

  8. Halloween

    The night is dark
    and the goblins are out,
    and the witches and black cats
    are prowling about.

    And costumed creatures
    the strangest I've seen,
    are knocking on doors

    Happy Halloween dear Dolores:-) I love the sheep, it's so darling! Don't you just love receiving surprise goodies in the mail like that!! xoxo
    'cause tonight's Halloween!

  10. My DH brought home the Stuart McLean book for me from the library. I laughed until I cried. I'd never heard of the guy before. I'm sure you'll enjoy reading that.
