Weather vanes  . . .  love them . . . 

 

Simon Alderson's glass birds.  I recently contacted him as I wanted to replace my Bluethroat whose tail had accidentally broken off. He didn't have shipping to Canada at that point but changed it so that he could send me one. I noticed he also had a kingfisher now and so added that to the order, and he gave me a special discount on both birds, along with free shipping, as I was a repeat customer, plus when the package arrived yesterday there was a special thankyou card in it with this glass bee on it.  I had to put the bee on my window too.  The kingfisher is gorgeous!  His work is amazing. I love, LOVE his birds.

Counted cross stitch. I used to do a lot of it. I had some of my work in the UK, none of it now. Maybe I need to do some more . . .

And those are my favorite things for this week.  Happy Canada Day to all you Canucks out there! 

I had my second shot yesterday afternoon. So far all I have is a bit of a sore arm. Fingers crossed that's all I get! 

A thought to carry with you  . . .

You push and I'll pelt . . . 

They so smote the garden bed.

That the flowers actually knelt.

They lay lodged . . . though not dead.

I know how the flowers felt.
