Maddy's Magic

Look what arrived in the post for me!

Maddy, from Maddy's Glasshouse won the Random Prize Draw I had back in July and sent me this bundle of goodies as a thank you! I love the glasses case, the ribbon will be put to good use (both the pink on the reel and the wrapping up ribbon - I love ribbon!) and I am going to try the Tim Tams for the first time having read about them in Blogland for quite a while. (OK - eating one now - they taste exactly like Penguins - not the south pole sort - I have never tasted one of them, but the chocolate sort - delicious)
This little dog will be joining the slowly growing menagerie who live in the shed. Would anyone care to suggest a name - I was going to call 'him' Bailey after one of Maddy's kids, but I don't think a Bailey would wear a pretty sunflower on his collar? So - a girl dog name please.

I'll get pictures of Tilly and Kitty's reactions later. (yes Martha - its official - I have lost it)
Thank you Maddy! Once again I am touched by the kindness of strangers met through this community.
Have a lovely weekend everyone. In the UK we have a Bank Holiday on Monday - so a long weekend for us. It started raining again this morning, which is traditional for Bank Holidays.

PS In searching for a link to Penguins, I found this site which is a lot of fun and worth a visit if you like a nice cup of tea and a sit down. There are some strange and wonderful things happening on the Internet!

LOL that is so weird to see something you made on someone else’s blog ... but the puppy is darn cute don't ya think! Glad you like everything, nice things come to nice people.

Bailey is my middle name. A perfectly good girl name. ;-) True. But for a change, what about Gertrude, Gerttie for short?

[islaygirl]

I MUST KNOW FROM WHENCE THE PUPPY CAME. is he handmade? available for order? did he come with a tag? (I have three Scotties. clearly i don't ~need~ him, but i ~want~ him.)

I have to confess to being the mother of the last commenter and I have absolutely no idea what he's talking about. wolf of the sea?

[martha]

Does this mean that my brother, wolf of the sea, will be back when I am since he is away now? or is he jaunting further. Can we go to the sea please?

[katie]

this is turning into a family affair - any other family members out there want to comment? yes Martha, Wolf will be away (?) and yes - we can go to the sea. Can't wait!

[janet clare]

Oh call her betty!

[julie]

What a lovely surprise! The little dog is so cute, she could be a Petal.

[katie]

ok - now the ideas have started - keep suggesting and we'll have a vote!

Did you hear about the yobs throwing the penguins to the lions at the zoo? Don't worry the lions couldn't get the wrappers off.
Groan, groan.

[Felicia]
