These are the first photos taken with my new camera. Dizzie, a hand-carved box (yup, Dizzie's head lifts off to reveal a storage area for something very small--an implant? oh, groan...), arrived yesterday with the hand-written greeting card next to him. What a cool surprise from Ed & Martha out there in Granrabbits. Thanks, thanks...you guys sure know how to make an old c'row smile.
Here is another wonderful handmade gift--a pink doily from Mary, Al, & Delaney--my niece and her husband and their youngest daughter. I love it--it looks very nice on my dresser, don'tcha think? Mary does this kind of thing in her spare time--ha--when she's not knitting or home-schooling Delaney. A vocabulary note for Delaney: the word doily is an eponym, named after a successful 1792 London milliner or draper. With a name like Doyley, he must have been IRISH! Thanks, Mary!
