12.12.12 its has to be written…………

There are always unusual things that occur when you try and jam heaps of jobs and birthdays into the small time frame left until Christmas, and of course l am not unusual in this area.

But then along comes some thing that makes you stop and go wow.

I got this beautiful French antique box filled to the brim with antique hand made lace and pure silk gold thread.

The giver was my Mr PnQ an early Christmas present as he is hopeless at keeping secrets.

And to tell you the truth l cannot stop looking at it.  The laces are just beyond belief and the gold thread is just so heavy as the roll is huge.

Is it weird if l have it on the bedside table?????????????

and in the office and on the kitchen table????

The only assurance that l gave Mr PnQ was that l wouldnt waste it(by putting it in a quilt) and l wouldnt take it to the shop to play with,(cos he thinks l have enough to play with there….)

So whos the lucky girl???????

Cheers as always
