Gifts




Last week my love gave me a splendid cardigan
But he felt that the splendiferousness of the cardigan merited better buttons - he sliced up a piece of box wood.

It is the best present I have ever received.

  7. That's cool. And I'm with Vegetable Assassin - I'd like to see the jumper.

    The best present I ever received was when my uncle bbought a crocodile gate for the bottom of the stairs for us.

    Have a great 2011, Boonie

  9. Ms Assassin - glad you like them, I tried to photograph the cardi but the colour came out all wrong

    Dolce - yep

    Savannah - I was sooo impressed

    Louciao - "popping one's buttons with pride"! and he was as he gave them to me

    MJ - I eat wood-eating insects

    Nursey - it is the sweetest present ever.

    also very special because the box wood was picked up during a walk we did 10 years ago, when he picked up the fallen box branch he said - 'I shall make you something with this one day'

    I too, got a cardigan - it looked like something for a 10 yr old so it got returned. hubby is smart enough to leave the tags on clothing and hand me the receipt....
