Drifting through life

Welcome back to Sunday Selections! This once-a- week-meme was originally begun by Kim of Frog Ponds Rock , as a way to showcase some of the many photos we all take, but don't get around to showing on our blogs. The rules are very simple:- 1. post photos of your choice, old or new, under the Sunday Selections title 2. link back to me, River , somewhere in your post 3. leave me a comment so that I know you've joined in and can come over and see what you've posted. And you can hop on over to The Elephant's Child to see if she has put up a Sunday Selections this week. This week I'm showing you the foam heads I bought to display my hats when I'm not wearing them. The cheap-as-chips foam heads.  I bought these online and thought I would have room on this bookshelf for three heads, but they were just a little larger than I thought. So head number three is way up high on top of the TV unit. I pushed a pair of my earrings into ...

You might have noticed I haven't been visiting much for a couple of days. My internet connection has been atrocious, or completely absent , depending on what time of day I choose to try connecting. Anyway, I'm here now and I shall make the most of it while I'm able to. At work, over the years, we have been given assorted Christmas themed items of clothing to wear during December.  Caps, (twice), aprons, (once), t-shirts, (every year since). I thought the caps and aprons needed a little jazzing up, so got busy with needle and thread and sewed tinsel on them.

Yesterday I checked my post office box to find a parcel waiting for me. From my good friend JahTeh . You'll find her at Copperwitch . Look at all the stamps!!! 20 of them!  I know a stamp collector who is going to love receiving these.  Most of the stamps are in memory of the men of the Kokoda Trail.  And then there's this one. Travel Smart. I have never, ever seen one of these. What was inside?  Two books. One by James Lee Burke, who is one of my favourite authors, and one by P.J. Tracy.  I haven't read many books by P.J.Tracy, so I'm looking forward to this one. Also included were 4 pairs of earrings. Thank you so much JahTeh! Sweet little snowmen to add to my Christmas collection, Cute as a button stripey bumblebees, and diamonds and pearls. To wear when I go visiting royalty?  Or just plain visiting. Thank you JahTeh.
