....hedgehog rescue......
...sometimes a little love is all that is required....
...last week i found this abandoned hedgehog in my local charity shop...
...a little shabby round the edges...
...but fundamentally all in one piece...
...and lovingly hand stitched for
somebody....
somewhere.....
some time ago....
...unable to resist a toy sob story..
she had to come home with me....
...to be squirrelled....
nothing too drastic..
..a bow of course...
..a few buttons, a furry collar...
...and a little pocket patched with love..
...i thought my work was done...
..until i found this ear-less bear
by the sea...
...how could i walk away?
...a serious cry for help
that couldn't be ignored...
...so with some words of reassurance
from miss tiggy...
...this old sheepskin bear
awaits his makeover!

.....finding treasure......
...today i had a quiet thrifty wander...
...seeking but not knowing
what i was looking for.....
...until i found it...
..a lovely old ladybird book...
(99p!!)
..the lovely illustrations are by a.j.macgregor...
..the little boy reminded me of someone..
...he is very like christopher robin....
...my special doll is made by the
artist r.john.wright...
..he lives in my guest room with all of his friends....
...i was so lucky to be given
this wonderful collection when my squirrel parents moved house....
..the attention to detail is amazing...
..these little sandals have perfect little buckles..
(i think piglet is my favourite)
...so in finding this book...
...i re-found some treasure...
..that was already mine.
..what a lucky day!
