Hello lovey peeps,
Are you ready for Christmas? No, of course not. I'm never ready. Christmas creeps up on me and all of a sudden it's here! Only four days left! Yikes. So much to do.
But the past week has been good, if not busy. On of my smiles this week was this card which I received only a few days ago:
It was sent to me by Anneli from Finland. The artist is Tiina Forstadius.
As far as I can tell (No Wikipedia info) she is Danish and was born in 1949. Some of her artwork is this:
Or this:
The stamp is interesting:
If you look closely you'll see that the stamp is still in its 'surround'.
It was issued in 2012, so quite a while ago.
What have I been smiling about this week? Last Saturday Dian and I went to Albox, a town about 40 miles away from where we live. She had ordered some meat which we were going to pick up.
There are some big shops and supermarkets that we don't have around where we live. I discovered a Dutch store:
We went inside Action and it was the same as in the Netherlands, same lay-out, same products. I enjoyed that.
Then we were going to have lunch at a particular stall that served Nassi and bami goreng. But we couldn't find it and it was getting late. so we ended up in a German stall. We had currywurst and chips:
I did think of Iris, I must admit. The chips were hand made and fried to order. So now I know what a Currywurst tastes like.
Tuesday I asked one of my neighbours if Im could photograph him for a photo club assignment. He weaves baskets and I had asked him to bring his weaving stuff.
His name is Serafin, seen here with Roneo (AKA Ronnie) the cat.
Ronnie sniffing at the baskets.
Serafin waiting for me to get my gear ready (He did come half an hour earlier than arranged so I wasn't ready).
I think he's doing the strap of the basket.
Some close-ups:
That's all from me today. Of course I will get you some funnies at the end to giggle over, but for now I will wish you all a very happy Christmas.
Hugs,
Lisca
