Nora is 100 years young!...and Thanks to - Irish Cottage Dreams!

I don't know who Nora is but she is one hundred years old in two weeks. The call went out on Jumbletown, the recycle site, who's members have been so generous to me.

Nora's family was having trouble finding cards specially for a lady who is 100. I suppose there is not much demand for these. So I got busy and made one for her and sent it off. This is what I made

 

 

 

Then this morning there arrived in the post a parcel from Kimme of Irish Cottage Dreams (on sidebar to right) It contained lovely surprises like .....

... a floral and polkadotted, hand made cup with a matching cross and heart....

 

 

 

 

 

 

and her own designed and produced beautiful Irish calendar, (available for sale on her blog )- Irish Cottage Dreams  -see sidebar.

the illustrations are amazing - photographs made to look like paintings. They are quite stunning. 

 

 

 

 

 

 ...and these dainty little handmade cards, made by her elderly grandmother. These ladies look so elegant in their fine hats. So I thought....I'll  have a go at making one of these and HEY PRESTO!........

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

......Nora's family got another card made for her! A little more practice and I think I will have it down to a fine art. Thank you Kimme and Happy Birthday to you Nora...whoever or wherever you are!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am also putting together a sister box for Herself in The Old Schoolhouse see sidebar to right.

I would love to show you some of the goodies I have in it already but Herself might be peekin'...

Well alright then - just one little peek  - and only on the inside of of one of the books...ANGIE!!! Stop lookin'!

Well now, you'll just have to go and create another site for your greeting card-ladies-business! She's beautiful! You really did a great job as did the other lady - well done for both of you!

I like the last post from Colleen.....We should go into
business making those cards together. I have about a
hundred of them stashed in my house already :)

Why- the pottery looks a bit like Polish Pottery. Very pretty.
