Nice things that have come to Trash Towers recently.

Had a text from Wonderwoman (not!) reminding me I hadn't taken my jam home when I left.

So I dropped back in to collect it just before lunchtime and I am sooooooooo glad I did.

Mmmmmyummmmy, homemade raspberry & loganberry jam on toasted bagels for lunch :-)

As it is the end of the school year ALL the artwork, notes and pieces of paper that have been lurking in the bottom of their drawers have turned up finally turned up at my house.

One of the things was a 'surreal' piece Pr. C-W did in art. Her father repeatedly plays them a very limited number of songs every weekend and 'Land Down Under' is one of them.

There is supposition the theme may have been somewhat loosely interpreted ;-) but I like what she has done. Everything flows across the page in a dreamlike manner.

Can you see The Sydney Opera House? The sun with boomerang rays? The Snowy Mountains with the river running down? A koala? Bush hat complete with corks? Boomerang? Didgeridoo? Ayers Rock? And how about that possum???

These images are my favourites.

And then today I got my firstest parcel from the Secret Swapper. OOooooooOOooooooo!

This gorgeous variegated 100% merino soft, softy yarn.

It has the wonderfullest name of 'Mint Julep'!

This was the first email exchange with my secret swap partner and, as usual, I threw in a 'gag' line about expensive jewellery.

Guess what was in my parcel?????? A MAHOOSIVE princess cut (I think) emerald.

How much fun is this?

It is meant to be a key ring but let me just say that as a big toe ring - it works ;-)

Dear lovely Secret Swappy person,

thank you for my parcel. I am loving it.
