A VERY SPECIAL CHRISTMAS // Shopping Ideas

Christmas shopping for a gift for your special one can be a challenge . 

There are all those TECHNO gadgets, iPads , smartphones, etc.
and those are nice -  but for me  its the special keepsakes that mean the most.

Christmas  reminds me more of snow falling, warm fires and hot chocolate.
And this brings me to some of my favorites - those SPECIAL keepsakes.



A lovely snow globe with a winter scene. A cherished gift.



A original  SnowGlobe  is my favorite from the Original Wiener Schneekugels  


Handcrafted in Austria.

Pockets please!!/ fashion

  Well as the title says…. Pocket s please!  This week has been a very painful week. I recently injured my knee badly. Not able to move stand or walk. When finally bit better I finally  managed to move . I needed something to wear that I could put my phone in , glasses medicine in.

 Season Changes Well it has finally cooled down which makes it bearable to be outside. Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people .  Festivals , Films  and Fashion  The festival season is winding down,  but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it!  The return of Clooney on screen in  Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight.  Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning .
