TGIF

I just felt this week needed to be over and a rest was a'coming!! Now this elusive rest my not happen as there are quite a few things we want to accomplish this weekend. As always I need "Le Sale du Garage" and "Un Junque Magnifique" to quell my shopping bug and not break the bank!!! - so Tomorrow morning it is off to rummage through others Flotsam and jetsam - who knows what lurks out there just waiting to be bought at some ridiculous low price!!!!!!! The other thing we want to accomplish is a visit to The Legion of Honor to see what looks like a super de duper exhibit - "Artistic Luxury - Faberge, Tiffany and Lalique." Fancy shiny stuff - right up my alley.

It seems that there are 7 of the Imperial Eggs - including this one The Rose Trellis Egg - 1907 - gift from Nicholas II to Alexandra - isn't it just spectacular!!!!

On the stitchy front last night - more exchange stitching/finishing- sorry about the no snaps - but we need to keep it secret until they get to their new homes.

The flickers last night were .... catching the last half of "Goodbye Mr. Chips" - 1939, starring Robert Donat and Greer Garson. This was followed by "Pygmalion" - 1938 - starring Leslie Howard and Wendy Hiller. Then TCM backed this up with the musical of the same story "My Fair Lady" - 1964 - starring Rex Harrison and Andrey Hepburn. The evening rounded out with the almost perfect musical "Singing in the Rain" - 1952 starring Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and the wonderful Jean Hagen. The movie evening finished off with "Born Yesterday" - 1950 Starring Judy Holliday in her Oscar wining roll as Billie Dawn. These are all wonderful flicks that I would highly recommend.

There you go - if you want to be a part of the "Wintery" give-away to go back to Tuesdays post and sign up before 2:30 PST today - I will have the chihuahuas do the picking this weekend and announce the winner on Monday!!!

So my dears - until next week remember - same Bat Time same Bat Channel!!! As always I do Thank you for stopping by - and spending a few moments with me!!!!

Take care,

A Wintery Floss Give-away

I have been thinking about a give-away for the longest time and wondered what I could do, make, get...and then hit on the idea of sharing my good fortune. A couple of weeks ago I lucked into a a ton of floss'. Going through the different sized cards the floss is wound on and rewinding them onto uniform smaller cards I am finding that many of the larger cards have 2 , 3 and sometime 4 skeins of floss on them. Which means that I really have double or triple the amount that I thought I did. With this in mind I know I can not use all of this bounty.... so I have gone through and pulled about 90 of the small cards that are marked "JP" or "Bates" and the color number and made up a "Floss Give-Away."

If you would like to win this giant Floss Give-Away just leave a comment ON THIS ENTRY, only - I will close the give-away on Friday afternoon around 2:30 PST and do a random drawing from those comments. I will announce the winner on Monday 2/23. Anyone can enter so don't be bashful - there are lots of spring and summer colours. Remember you can't win if you don't enter!!

Last night was spent working on an exchange. I wanted to thank you all for the kind things you had to say about my finish - I went back and found that I usually have a finish this time of year - now I Wonder why that is??

The flicker last night was "Morituri" - 1965 starring Marlon Brandon and Yul Brynner. A very interesting WWII film - probably one of Yul Brynners best performances. A little dark and slow but worth a look.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Take care,
