This is an older box of mine but I still like it! I am pleased how the gold wash shimmers over the green background reflecting the gold of the Paisley brooch. Available at my Etsy shop, “Sign of the Elephant” signoftheelephant.etsy.com/listing/1195... #handcrafted #trinketbox #recycledjewellery

As promised, here’s another of my boxes! This one is called “The Tree of Life” due to the central medallion being a tree motif with a tiny heart (donated by my SIL). Available from my Etsy shop signoftheelephant.etsy.com/listing/4351... #handcrafted #keepsakebox #trinketbox

Friends! It’s the 3rd Day of Christmas! We had lots of family here for lunch yesterday so the extension went on the table and the tablecloth came out. This always causes Great Excitement and Mum has a Terrible Time trying to lay the table. I tried not to join in the sabotage, but I couldn’t help it!

Friends! There’s a week to go until Christmas Day and our Tree is still standing, despite Cleo and Ron’s best efforts 🎄 Mum has got another of our old Games out, which has proved a good Distraction. I’ll be honest, I’m really enjoying all the Games. Old? Me? No!

Friends! Our brilliant New Game has inspired Mum to get some Old Games out of the cupboard, as DISTRACTION from the Christmas Tree seems to be the way forward. Who remembers this one? There are Treats in the top. It flummoxed the Triplets, but luckily I was there to help!

Friends! Our dear friend @JanOMalley3.bsky.social bought Mum some Cups of Tea with the suggestion to use the money to buy this Game. She thought it might distract the Triplets from the Tree🎄Mum did exactly as Jan recommended and I got to play with the New Game first. I think it will help us a lot!🪶

Friends! Mum put up the Christmas Tree with ‘help’ from everyone. Part of Mum’s ‘Operation Christmas Tree’ is to have a day with it up but with no decorations, so that the Triplets can perhaps get the Exploration and Climbing out of their systems. It might work… 🎄#Caturday

Friends! After kicking off #BedGate again yesterday, Baby Dog continues to be awkward. Here, he has managed to secure the Favourite Sofa Spot, but not with enough room to lay down. If it was Cleo and Percy in the way, he might shove them off, but it’s Ron and me. He’s in a dilemma! 😹

Decreased the to-be-read pile by 1 - finished “Strange Practice” by @ceruleancynic.bsky.social; bought on a whim as intrigued by the premise. An enjoyable adventure with well written characters, fast paced & a fresh take on Gothic vampires

The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill).
Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill).
Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)
