end of november

Last week I had to go up North to see a specialist dentist.

I've been in pain for three months now and finally I can see a
bit of light at (hopefully) the end of this tunnel.

I brought with me my camera but it was easy (being sedate
and in pain and very tired) to snap few pics with my mobile.

The highlight of my short trip was that I went to visit a dear
friend after I haven't seen her for almost five years. I lived in
York, which is a very nice town, but being a new mum and
with not much family around I had a bit of a rough time then.
I felt quite alone but, I was lucky enough to meet this friend
which I always regarded as a fine example of mother:
she's has the courage to be against the grain,
she's quite unconventional and not conformist but wise indeed,
a bit crazy too, her daughters are the most clever and
interesting teenagers I know. In the end my dental problems
turned on a positive note.

I will have an Advent Calendar GiveAway for each Sunday until Christmas,
I'm also taking part of a couple more AC in other blogs.
I'll tell you more when the time comes.

First GiveAway here this Sunday 1 of December

Have a nice weekend!

making her advent calendar

I put everything into small paper bags, add some tags then
all the 24 little parcels will go in a basket.

I like to keep things simple.

A mouse shaped soap, a puppy paw' stamp, silver ink,
a pencil sharpener, silver chocolate coins, a star box,
a pencil with the tables, washi tape, English roses candies,
a red heart, a little house, a silver A, a flying pink pig,
ceramic letters for her name, a case with stars,
three sugar mice, an old ruler.
