The Cuir had loads of adventures, today. We went to the big city in the south and saw tons of interesting stuff.

Love the Mad Hatter Tea Party tree!!!!
Did a rabbit, carrying pocket watch, run by you?--saying, "I'm late! I'm late!":lol:
Bicycle(?) tree awesome, also.

Oh, lovely cuir.:hbeat:
Very tasteful, nice charm for her. Have seen rings, made from recycled spoon handles. Beautiful silver patterns.:girlsigh:
Seems a terrific outing. Very glad for you, my friend.

I tried to shop for gifts.
An oblivious man almost walked into me.
We both apologized & admitted we had no idea where we were going.
Just each wandering store aimlessly.
Hoping gift inspiration struck.
Then we both laughed.:drinks:

I gave up & visited art museum.
The paintings behaved, not jostling me.
Not letting their little painting-children run up & down aisles screaming, "I hate my sister!"
Then I bought dog food. And went home.

Zero holiday shopping goals met today.:frown:
Sanity preserved.:tup:

If you still have sanity at this point, it's a good thing!

Last minute shopping is tough....
A shame that the gentleman who walked into you didn't look like Enrique Inglesias, as would have been the case in a romantic movie....:giggle::giggle:

Hehehe. I guess the mad hatter Christmas tree inspried me to buy the spoin charm. They make jewelery, too, but unfortunately I only wear gold and everything is silver.
The other tree is made of bicycles. I am kicking myself that I did not take pics of all trees.

Like your last minute shopping story![emoji38]

Running around taking the kids to the doctors and dentists as it's school break.
Almost time to start the holiday cooking.
That at least is peaceful.

Hope busily running around ends soon!

I am mad, ladies!:nuts::nuts:
I had ordered two duvets from a reputable site as Christmas presents ....
The parcel has just been delivered and there is only one...:eek:
I phoned the site and the lady told me they had made a mistake while putting my order in the parcel.
Long story short, they are sending the second duvet today to the person it is for....hoping that he will get it before Christmas....
Toes and fingers crossed!:no::no:
