One of my two lovely vases I got for Christmas. This one goes perfectly in my pink end of the kitchen.
I went out especially to buy flowers today!
Three good things:
1. Called in to see a friend who is 80 tomorrow with card & present. Supposed to be having a party but it’s been cancelled.
2. The spare unwanted wardrobe went to a good home today.
3. I have started my new Christmas present book. Call of the Penguins. It’s the sequel to the wonderful Away with the Penguins.
@casablanca Yes definitely Casa. An 87 year old lady goes to Antarctica to look after penguins. It’s a charming book Read Away with the Penguins first though!
What an elegant vase and perfect for your kitchen. Those books sound like something I would read. Many years ago I worked in Antarctica for four months during the ‘summer’.
I was lucky enough to have an overnight stay near a colony of these cute penguins and spend time exploring Shackleton’s historic hut. Fond memories. Chook also spent two summers in Antarctica.
You are right - what a nice present to receive! I would like one like that.There are always so many nice vases in second hand shops. I think I'll wander in some!
This is beautiful. Love the vase and these flowers are perfect in it.
A lovely day....December birthdays are tricky - so much else going on. Laura's is the 30th and they are on their summer holidays of course!!!
