Day eleven of the Advent calendars, and I now have Tarragon seeds, another mini jar of jam and my little wooden stocking bought from the gift shop in Llanrwst when we lived in Wales. I always like the tree to be decked with things that bring back memories.
To quote Oscar Wilde ... 'I can resist everything except temptation.'
Wandering around Aldi, getting the few bits and pieces that I needed and buying some more treat type shopping for the Foodbank trolley I spied the Ballerina Mouse, one of Kevin the Carrot's friends and decided to treat myself.
I know, I'm just a big kid ... but a happy one. 😁
And I was even happier when I took my purchases to add to the Foodbank trolley and found it overflowing. I went and got a cardboard box and piled my things into it and left it alongside the trolley. People in our town are so kind-hearted.

The little ballerina mouse is so cute - looks like her tutu is a mince pie?
ReplyDeleteGood for you for treating yourself as well as others - it's Christmas after all

Yes, her tutu is a mince pie, and it comes off ... just in case she wants to be less festive for the rest of the year. :-)
DeleteLove the little mouse. I got one this week too - just couldn't resist. When we were in Carms I used to go into TK-Maxx in the lead up to Christmas and get one with long dangly legs each year.
ReplyDeleteShe's adorable isn't she. No wonder we bought them. :-)
DeleteWhat a lovely, happy blog today, thank you. I love the mouse - very sweet. xx
ReplyDeleteI am determined to find the happiness ... and ignore all the advertising and people after our money.
DeleteI love the little mouse too, she's so cute :)
ReplyDeleteRe the FoodBank: we attended a carol service in the village on Thursday night and they were having a collection at the end for the local FoodBank. It was pointed out that it was entirely voluntary to put anything in at all as things are so tough right now, but the open collection box (watched over by a lovely lady) was full of bank notes as we popped our contribution in. People are, indeed, so very kind and caring.
That is wonderful, there are so many good people in this world. I keep getting quite emotional when I hear of or read about, things like this.
DeleteI love the way our hearts open at this time of the year. I wish it could always be so.
ReplyDeleteWe simply need more of the good and generous people ... and less of the others.
DeleteWhat a cute ornament. I agree we need to have more good and generous people in our world.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
She's sweet isn't she. :-)
