Christmas 2017 gifts from Germany

Hello dear friends,

Isn't it nice to be able to post about gifts again? No matter how late they arrive (c/o our slow post services) they bring joy and cheer up our spirits.  These wonderful goodies came all the way from  Birgit, in Germany. Birgit is our dear friend, whose witty comments on our posts, put smiles on our faces. Also, Birgit who tries to make her friends happy by sending specially made for them gifts.

A cute and beautiful Christmas card,  Christmas tree lights (To be used next year), Christmas tree
silver ornaments, a tiny bear and a gorgeous winged dragon.




A 2018 calendar, specially made, photoed and designed by Birgit for her friends, with gorgeous photos starring Flutterby and Rosey.  Marzipans, fresh delicious.......



In addition, 3 beautiful greeting cards, difficult to see them.


Baalatova, immediately as I opened the parcel, confiscated the tiny dragon with the excuse, that when he grows up to his final size, this winged dragon will become her transportation means instead of the unreliable brooms.  She promised to feed and take care of the little fellow until then.  Here you can see her with her favorite pets both made/painted by Birgit.  She looks smug.



Good news.  The entrance to our apartment is finished.  The final touches are scheduled for next week and then we'll be free of the laborers and I'll be able to post a photo of the new looking building.

Before

After



I wish you all a warm and pleasant end of the week with blessings.

  10. Baalatova is one clever witch for sure... Borthud Skullington asked me to greet her in his name, according to him there's nothing more reliable in the world than a dragon transport. It's great to see how happy dear Baalatova is with her little green pets. And I'm glad that I was able to send you a little joy via mail... but even more that it finally arrived at your place. My, this has caused three more grey hairs for sure... *LOL* Good to hear that the renovation trouble will be history soon, it must have been very annoying with all this dirt and noise.

    Hugs
    Birgit

    Я надеюсь, что у вас все будет хорошо!
