Look at this......

I have just got home from heading out of town to take the 'horsey' one to the dentist in Mum's home town where Mum presented me with this amazing 'Partridge in a pear tree'!!! I loved it when I saw it in a Homespun magazine about 2 years ago and asked Mum to make it. She agreed but it has been a slow process and at times neither of us were sure it would be finished or worth finishing. I am thrilled to bits with it and can't wait for the silly season to roll around. Think it may perhaps be left out until then to be enjoyed and 'oohed' and 'aahed' over. The photos aren't clear but the little white scroll at the bottom says ' On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me...'I have realised that the photo isn't true of how vibrant the green of the leaves are and the richness of the pears. It is beautiful.
