Jane Austen visits Japan

It's been far too long since I sent out a postcard.  I have selected the winner of a post card from the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Postcard Book.  This should arrive in Helen's mailbox in about two weeks.

Jane as a zombie.  It's an image that I'll have to muse on.  Her colour is much too pale for current fashions.

On my other blog, Books and Quilts, I have been writing about a different re-incarnation of Jane.  In tomorrow's  post she goes dress shopping and is getting ready to fly to Halifax for Quilt Canada.  You can read last week's post where she joins me for fabric shopping.

This postcard book is from Chronicle Books.

Easter Egg Time

This is the best of Easter Cards.  Such gorgeous eggs.  When I buy my eggs from a friend who keeps several flocks of fowl, this is sort of what my assortment looks like.  Okey, I admit, that she doesn't give me ostrich size eggs, though some of the duck eggs are large enough for two people.  I haven't had any of her goose eggs, though she admitted that one egg is large enough to make an omelet for four people.

Thanks to my sister for sending these wonderful eggs.   On the back of the card "Ok, I know they aren't chocolate, but these eggs could be used to make wonderful chocolate cakes + imagine the eggs benedict."

How well my sister knows me.

Card is from a photo by Tessa Traeger 1991, Distributed by Chapter and Verse.

Bad Bicycle

 

A friend of mine wiped out on his bicycle recently and was banged up pretty bad.  

I sent him this card with the hopes that it would give him a smile.
