Christmas gifts

Hello dear readers,

Most of you, my followers, already know Birgit. Birgit is one of the kindest, wittiest, generous, persons in our Blogland If not, run and follow to get to know the magic of her stories, including two cute protagonists, Flutterby and Rosey.

I am one of the lucky, happy receivers (spread across continents) of Birgit's beautiful Christmas gifts which are only a small sample of her generosity.


Solly, one of Birgit's hand made flying bears and a gift from her is helping me open the parcels.






Solly's favorite is the 2020 calendar where he can see Flutterby and Rosey, his brother and sister.



These precious tiny snowmen are perfect for a winter scene in a nutshell.




The "glass blue-tit" is a traditional ornament, Birgit's region of Germany for the top of the Christmas tree.  I love it.  The olive wood star of David is made in Israel, sold in Germany and sent back to me in Israel, challenging me to make a Nativity inside its frame.  Don't be surprised when you see it soon.



The delicious marzipans went from the box to my mouth to stay on my hips but worth every bite.



THANK YOU. DEAR BIRGIT FOR THESE PRECIOUS, THOUGHTFUL GIFTS AND MOST OF ALL - FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HANUKKAH AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

  5. Dear Drora, I see that Birgit's Christmas magic has spread out to even your home, she sent you again wonderful gifts. I'm glad Solly was there to help you a hand....eh paw ;)! Enjoy each one of these teeny tiny miracles!!
    What a story about the olive wood star, sent from Israel to Germany and now it returned home. It will be a good base for a nativity. This makes not only stories, but also warm memories. I love the blue bird ornament, it's gorgeous!!
    Dearest Drora, I wish you and yours:
    Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy New Year!
    Warm hug, Ilona

  6. Thank you for your very kind words, dear Drora… if you could see my face now… *blush* I'm glad that I've been able to send a bit of you to you and it was so nice to see the excitement of Solly. May the marzipan rest in peace on your hips and may the other stuff inspire you to new projects. And it's so good to hear your announcement that we'll see the star again soon - I can't wait to see it with a nativity of yours. And I may mention - it's not just wood from Israel... it's from olive trees near Bethlehem. ;O)

    Happy Hanukkah to you!
    Birgit

  11. What a GREAT STORY about the circuit of the Olive wood star from Bethlehem to Germany and then back to Israel! But of course everything which Birgit does is Immensely interesting and comes wrapped with a unique story surrounding it! I know that you and Solly will have an enjoyable time with the intriguing assortment of tiny treasures from Birgit and may I add that probably your hips and mine, may be twins!;D
    Happy New Year Drora! ❤️
