Beggars 

While making chicken soup last night after Vespers I was set upon by would-be thieves of the soft and cuddly sort. One prefers the direct approach: The other prefers to present as an orphan left on the doorstep and howl loudly.

Polishing silver 

These two large silver trays appeared towards the end of our cleaning day at church. Rather than get to work on them then, Father brought them home for me to work on later. I've mostly finished one, and will need to get more silver polish before I clean the second one.

Basket

I love that happiness can fit in a basket. 😊 Keep an eye on my shop to find unique Christmas presents! If you have special requests it's best to get them to me early.
