Look at this lovely box I bought for curiosities……..

Two hand towels for the kitchen…..

some East Anglian beer (and other) mats…..

Birthday Chickens.

Posted on March 12, 2013 by debbieosborn

I’ve been celebrating a very special birthday this weekend and anybody would think I liked chickens!

These are from some of my friends.

Before you ask, yes I did have other things besides chickens for my birthday! 🙂

Perry Mason

Posted on January 30, 2013 by debbieosborn

I’ve made a terrible start to 2013 with my blogging, haven’t I? I’m making a fresh start now by sharing with you that I’m addicted to books by Erle Stanley Gardner, mainly Perry Mason, but I’ve read others. I don’t know how many I have read, about ten I think. This is the one I’m reading at the moment.

One reason I like them is that they have such great titles! I have two dead people in this one so far! 🙂

Well, I’m walking around the market that has very few stalls because of the rain, not expecting to find any little treasure this week. Then this little one looks to me longing for me to buy her!
