This is NOT tatting related but is for some of my tatting friends. Among those who might enjoy my excitement are Joanie, Pam, Riet and a few of the others in South Carolina!!!
Now you folks in America have dollar stores which sells things for - guess what - a DOLLAR!!! In England we have the 'odd' place which is equivalent and in my town we have Poundland. Now a pound is worth 62 cents at the moment so anything we buy is almost twice as expensive than buying in America.
I'll confess here. When I walk in the afternoons I usually go round in a certain direction so that I end up walking up through the town towards home. I always pop into our Poundland - just in case they've got something new that I can't live without.
Well, yesterday they did and here they are!!! The latest craze while Sally and I were in America was the range of small solar powered novelty 'items' (for want of a better word). I came home so excited with these two but have hidden them from Nick as they'll now form part of his birthday present. He'll be thrilled as he asked me why I didn't come home with more once he'd seen the dancing daisies that Pam had given me. Reasons why I didn't? All the dollar stores we visited had sold out and I'd got no room in my suitcase!!! The daisies had to travel in my carry on bag!!!
Awwwsummmmm!!!!

But will there be enough sun in your winter to make them dance?? :)
ReplyDeleteRiet - I'm SO excited about finding them in England and I hope they arrive in The Netherlands soon too.
ReplyDeleteYes, Maureen, they should dance all winter as long as there's a little bit of sun each day. The daisies are dancing happily on the kitchen windowsill!!!
Dance, Pansy, dance!
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable!!! :)
ReplyDeleteApparently these should be at our dollar stores! I've never noticed them! So cute! Thanks for this post! I'm off to the store!
ReplyDeleteFYI - I think you have the conversion wrong. A dollar is worth about 62p. A pound is worth about one dollar 60 cents.
ReplyDeleteThe dollar stores here are great. I love finding reading glasses there!
Ahhh, maths is my worst enemy, Crazy Mom!!!!!! I checked Poundland again today but no more new ones in yet!!!
ReplyDeleteGo Jane Go! I only have one challenge for you. I try to place a piece of tatting on each one but you have to be careful because they can loose their balance and not take. So glad you found the penquin! Now I won't have to mail you one. That is supposed to be the next one we get in stock. Guess you are ahead of us on the pecking order. Have fun!!!
