A representation of that which continues to keep a smile on my face during this time of suspended reality.

And then there’s this little dude. I don’t have to breathe life into him because he comes alive on his own anytime I place him next to H (or the critic) for photos. I’m so impressed that he’ll travel with me on my next trips to H, and we’ll see what troubles ensue.

Week 3 of our lockdown. Can't go anywhere, but still enjoying finer things. H Deco tea cup and Tournis bracelet in Etain.

I finally completed the Advent calendar. It did not turn out how I had imagined it would, but I’m glad to be done.

Inside the lid: These are the boxes I made to hold the candy. I was going to glue a support piece of board across them but didn’t. I had to make each one separately.....they didn’t fit as well as I had hoped.

I had to build an additional frame around the boxes to get enough coverage of the edges.

I added 1/8” striping tape on the edges to soften the fact that I couldn’t get poster board to match Hermès orange. I used 1/4” striping tape on the top to hold the ”doors”

I added the candy that signifies Christmas Day in a tissue paper pouch, as I had spacing challenges.

The End! Glad I did it, but even more glad it’s over. :yahoo: Boy, do I have a mess to clean up.
