Thank you for your kindness

Jane and I would like to thank you all for your kindness and support.

Losing our brother Jim so suddenly has been a shock and you have all been so good to us.

We really appreciate it.

Turquoise and more turquoise!

How many times can we say how much we LOVE turquoise!!

Our whole front window is full of bits of turquoise including four fabulous chrome chairs which are simply stunning.

Then there is the vintage Pyrex Butterprint mixing bowls and covered dishes, some pottery, a couple of sweet lamps, and a record player playing Elvis!

How much fun!!

Turquoise in the window. 4 chrome chairs $295. Record player $65

Monkey has a new home!

This darling pyjama monkey with one hand bitten off – by goodness knows who! – has now gone to a new home.

A pyjama monkey has a zipper in his back and in the morning you stuffed him with your PJs and he lay on your bed all day waiting for you to come back to bed.

He lived with me for a while and now he is going to live with Karen!

Amputated monkey goes home with Karen.
