I wanted to post a final snap of all the wonderful ornaments from the Ornament exchange -
These lovelies will forever remind me of the great stitchers who created them and every year go on the tree and be spots of friendship!! I want to thank all the ladies who created them - Carol, Vonna (I know its not Donna - I just write this stuff way too early in the morning - :) ), Joan, Becky, Staci, Cathy, Jill, Julianne, Carolyn and Amy - Thank you all so much for these Christmas treats!!!!!! and Thank you Becky for putting the exchange together!!
Last night before Greys Anatomy - don't get me started - I watched a really great movie - which I think was a fourth film incarnation of an Oscar Wilde play - called "An Ideal Husband" - 1999 - This version had top notch actors, set design and photography. The ensemble cast included Cate Blanchett,Minnie Driver, Julianne Moore, Rupert Everett and Lindsey Duncan. Excellent adaptation if a bit slower than the play but well worth a look. An earlier version was the 1947 version starring Paulette Goddard. Directing for this version on his last film was Alexander Korda and costumes by Cecil Beaton - the 47 version is quicker paced but just as lush - I do not think it is out on DVD - you have to catch it on the TV so if you get the chance to see it try to.
Yesterday on the way home I stopped into Walgreen's and found some new candy
- or at least new to me -
Now the Fireball - jawbreaker - is one of my favorite candies and has been since forever - I had never seen a "chewy" version of the regular or atomic - since chewy is always good...I had to get them. This version of the fireball is about the size between a green pea and a chick pea and shiny - and very hot and chewy - so if you like it hot and a super cinnamon blast for your palette AND chewy - you should try these.
Thanks for stopping by - Have a great weekend!!!!
Take care,
edgar

Edgar... what a beautiful set of ornies just sitting there waiting for a tree to hang from! Gorgeous work to everyone!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love "An Ideal Husband".. just too funny. Rupert Everett is one of my faves and I just eat up whatever he puts out. Glad you enjoyed it.

It's such a wonderful basket, enjoy :) What a great idea to have an exchange like that, I enjoy seeing all the ornaments in your blogs.
ReplyDeleteYour ornaments are all gorgeous! I know you'll enjoy them immensely (I'm certainly enjoying mine!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic basket of tokens of friendship!
ReplyDeleteThe all of the exchange is lovely, you really knew how to arrange it. In the Ideal Husband I prefer Jeremy Northam. Not much seen in the movies, but an excelent actor. Julianne Moore is always lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteBest regards
How special to get so many beautiful ornaments. Wonderful exchange!
