Here is my lovely gift I received from May Britt in Norway

It was the first gift I opened, and was thrilled to recieve something so special from the other side of the world. 

This lovely donut pincushion was in the bag too.  I just LOVE pincushions!

I have already tested this one out and I love it.

 

This is Master Flowergarden's Canary (Su-Lee).  She sat on this nest before Christmas, and the result . . .

. . . was this lovely baby (at the back) which he named Su-Lee Junior!

Su-Lee is back on the nest again, and we think the next baby will be called NOEL!

. . . and on the EVE of a brand new year 2012, we have had some very exciting news in our garden this afternoon.  The birth of Chick Chick Eve.  We have been watching our Clucky Hen Elizabeth, for what seems a VERY LONG time now, and today, she had some wonderful success for all her hot hot sitting.

Happy Christmas to one and all, and a very

Happy New Year

2012

"Love in the Pots"

Last weekend, I had a lovely time, a busy time, with the Main Road Market in Ballarat.

My sister travelled down from Mildura, to join me on my stall called:

Love in the Pots
I've spent ALL week looking for the photos that I thought I'd accidently deleted.

We had lots and lots of plants,

Olive Oil, fresh from the farm,

Home made Lemon Cordial,

Garden Cards,

Seeds

and lots more

 

Miss Flowergarden was a brilliant help on the day, and was a real "stayer"

"and the money kept rolling in . . . "

Thanks for coming Fiona, and for your support -

It was great to do a market together

. . . and the load was a lot lighter on the way home.  The weather was great, the crowd was strong and steady, and it was a great day.

I think it's beginning to look a "bit" like Christmas,
but I'm nowhere near up to it yet.  Still 4 days of school to go.  Looking forward to holidays soon.
