Yesterday the sun came out to play and so I spent some time looking upwards, taking lots of photos of the lovely blue skies ….

All of the clouds were so pretty …

So very delicate looking .. and wispy … dreamy …

And I want to share my lovely new shopping bags .. here is a great one, from the SPCA …Love … the warm nose of a dog … how much love they add to our lives … immeasurable.  I miss not having my four-legged furry friends .. of the dog persuasion .. . but perhaps in a year or so we can add some to our family … wonder how the cats will like that!  Although JaneE is well used to dogs .. Duncan is another kettle of fish!

 

And here is my la la la bag .. turns out I could see a Perrier Convention at the top.  So I count myself lucky anyway at this new find, thanks to my Pal D who located it in the shop!  Perfect for transporting containers of soaps!

And here is a supply of Turkish Towell and some facecloth, which D & I gathered up a few days ago .. nicely drying in a woven basket.

And speaking of la la la, fancy things … here is a beautiful little beaded bag & lipstick holder.  Since I’m not a fancy-schmancy kind of person .. I will use this bag for soap labels, that sort of thing.  However, the lipstick holder … I fully intend to place a lipstick in there!

And this lovely woven item .. is perfect for carrying just essentials when I’m going for a walk!

And … another treasure!  Teletubby napkins .. how fun!

I found this magnificent tiny woven basket with a lid in one of my “goodie” bags ….the handwork is very fine.

And I’ve decided to use this basket all year round.  Right now it is storing the dried seeds from my organic squash.  The one squash that grew and made it to maturity.  Rainy weather equalled a very poor crop.  So this spring I will plant more!  Bright orange flesh, makes the most delicious soup!

Another colourful decoration for the tree .

As soon as I saw this dish .. I knew that I had to have this treasure .. so very lively ..

 

And Santa .. Santa .. Santa .. what a happy set of figures

Sparkly … each one is different .. and they are brand new .. and just the type of fancy decorations that I love …

Oh, isn’t he a treasure!  D and I wondered what was wrong with his right eye … when we moved his little eyeglasses upwards .. we saw that he was winking!  He looks like he belongs it the claymation movie “The Light Before Christmas” .. what a love he is.

 

This little snowman is the most dapper and happiest version I have ever seen … what a charmer .. how sweet.

Sweet little mouse .. a tailor, I believe .

Oh, how very darling .. I love miniatures ….

And .. more and more … sky pictures

 

Lovely .. aren’t they ….

.. another .. lovely .. lovely … day ….
