Hi Everyone
Greetings from Jordan! I am on my annual visit to my dear friends in
Jordan who I met in 2012 and have visited ever since (it’s a long story!). I arrived here on Saturday to find the place
blanketed in snow. Yes, it snows in the
Middle East. My quarters here aren’t 5
star, I can guarantee you. My family
that I stay with is very large and we all squeeze into a small apartment with
one fairly primitive bathroom. What they
lack in possessions is replaced 1000 fold with generosity and happiness. The only problem is getting to bed early, as
after the evening meal its visiting time and that can go on way into the
night. I will be bringing back with me
some lovely treats of Palestinian embroidery for the nest and the
nestling! I have left sending out your
parcels to a very competent parcel elf so all is in good hands. He is following orders well.
By the time I write next week bao bab will
have arrived which is rather exciting and Minihaha and Milky will not be far
behind it. So lots of lovelies are on
the way. I have also just placed an
order with the very lovely Bamboo Design.
Yum!
I love Charlie Belle, all handmade by Kate
from Canberra, but it is time they walked out the door. All Charlie Belle is now reduced to $5.00 to
make room for the packing elf left at home. While I love this label I do realize now that
it is difficult for Mum’s at home to search for it quickly online as they are
all different, so lesson learnt for next time, so grab a bargain while you can - the extra few minutes searching will be
worth it.
So until next week, enshalla, ( the Arabic
way of saying ‘god willing’) greetings
from Jordan.
