Get Your Dancing Shoes On

Well, more of that later,.
Firstly I've got to thank Soulbrush for my award, "Certified Queen of Blogs"
Sorry I'm so late.
I'd like to pass it on to
My Cretan Life who writes about her craftwork and renovating a home here in Crete
A Quilters Journal who has been posting about a trip along Route 66 with her husband
Cocoa and Blankets a lovely blog and recent posts of a trip to Venice
Little Over Living another crafty blog, Jenny makes gorgeous quilts.
If any of you choose to accept, link back to me and send it off to as many fellow bloggers as you want. You can copy my button.

Also, a huge thank you to Lydia of 'Waving or Drowning, Reflections of a Working Mum' for sending this gorgeous parcel. I was suffering from some nasty germs a couple of weeks ago. So she kindly sent me a tub of Rose and Almond oil Vaseline for my sore lips, although I'm not suffering anymore, it's delicious! The gingerbread Adam and Eve were scrummy and just look at that pack of tissues!! One side says Bless and the other says You!!! Aren't they wonderful?? I'm saving them for the wedding, think I'll be sharing them with Mother of the Groom.......
Sunday was Easter Sunday here and also my birthday.
We were invited to our neighbours, Dimitri and Thalia. They live in Athens and come over to their family home for holidays.
I shall be posting about that within the next couple of days, just got sort photos out. The sparkly shoes were Little Thalia's who danced the afternoon away.

Belated Happy Birthday! Anna is obssesed by the Lelly Kelli shoe advert and gets really cross if I talk over it. I still have some books here with your name on if you'd like them? No worries if not. xxx

glad you had a lovely time on our easter day

i havent been to iraklio market - i know what the market is like in hania, but we are a much smaller town

i'm not too worried about how long things have been hanging around as long as i can work out if the store has a good turnover - then you know that the stuff cant be hanging around long

Blu said...

Happy Birthday..now go and buy yourself a pair of pink dancing shoes.

Chris Stovell said...

Muffin (grand daughter)loves her Lelli Kellys which I must add are a much cheaper version. Don't like this designer thing with small children. Couldn't believe when someone gave her designer perfume as a baby! No doubt you had a wonderful birthday
