Bits and Pieces

If you see cows lying down in a field then you know it is going to rain.
If you see squirrels gathering nuts early then you know it is going to be a long winter.
And so it goes, that if you see our neighbour leaving his car down at the bus stop then you know it is going to snow.

So why was I surprised? All plans to take the work rubble and bits and pieces from my gallery to the municipal recycling were scrapped (no pun intended) and getting to the post office before noon closing out of the question :(

Instead A. had to cut down a tree that had landed in the drive narrowly missing the cars and I had to dig out the drive....


The sky still full of snow on Saturday morning



"Quincy" the quince tree looking pretty


I thought my little car was squished!!

The day was brightened though when I logged on to Etsy and discovered my "Absinthe" earrings on the homepage - yay. Thank you to Star of the East for making such a fab treasury!!




Please take a few minutes to check out their fab jewellery, particularly their new sea urchin pieces! HERE!




Earlier this week, one of my own treasuries made it to the frontpage - this is almost as much fun as have one of your own items featured only without the added bonus of 'hearts' and hopefully sales :)





Our little hamlet on Sunday afternoon



The Bourgeois family sent me this pic of one of my little christmas stars on their tree - ooohhh christmas is so far away again :(

Wow! What a lot of snow! But it looks gorgeous! Still better than the wet autumn weather we have in Austria at the moment.
Can be too much snow, though... :)

Oh, I miss the snow!!!! Last time I've seen so much snow was 12 years ago, as I lived in the black forest. Thanks for sharing!

What a snow indeed! We never have snow over here, looks great but I like it a little warmer :)
Thank you so much for mentioning us! It was a pleasure for me to have you in my first FP treasury :D

Breathtaking pictures... I wish we have snow here, too... the black winter is much worse than the white one...
