Swap with Emanuela


Hello dear friends

I feel as if I've been away for ages.  The early summer weather was lovely, we were having a great time outdoors and everything looked promising and good for plans, when out of the blues I caught pneumonia.
A really nasty condition.  Ironically, last year we all  took anti shots.   We were told they were good for at least 5 years...  I am still on antibiotics (Two types) with absolutely no appetite, and loosing weight which I can't afford.  So my dear friends, this is the reason why I am scarcely able to visit your blogs and leave comments.  As soon as I feel better I shall make up for lost time.

Emanuela, my sweet new friend from Italy, when she learned it was my birthday last month, wanted to send me a gift.  We decided to make a swap instead.  My parcel is still somewhere in Postland but Manu's arrived and made me very happy.


A lovely bag and hat together with a very sweet card.  Everything beautifully packed in a rose colored box.


A beautifully embroidered picture sign.  It will hand in on of my market stalls.


Very cute silver trinkets.

Great white doilies.  I'm always looking for these to put under my cakes.


Beautiful white lace.  I love it.

THANK YOU DEAR MANU.  I AM DELIGHTED WITH YOUR GIFTS.

Hugs to all and blessings

  34. Dear Drora, I am so sorry to hear that you are so sick. Pneumonia takes time to get over. You will have to be very patient and not force yourself to do too much. As a matter of fact, you should do as little as you can so that you can regain your strength. The gifts are lovely.
