Travel theme: Entertainment

The world has, within some days only, lost two giants in entertainment: David Bowie and Alan Rickman. Ailsa’s Travel theme this week is all about Entertainment. The Show must go on. That is the only way to cope with Life.

WPC: Alphabet

Alphabet – our communication depends on it. Printing depended on these…no longer in use, but made into beautiful art – of another kind. For more inspirational alphabets, click here.

Thursday Thoughts

Thursday happened to be Christmas Eve. So this will be the story of a very special parcel…a present for my mother from her granddaughter.

This Origami flower ball took some time to make, but Emma is a skilled Origamist (she makes a crane from every small train ticket and leaves it for the conductor…).

Then she drew a picture puzzle on the parcel, for my mother to solve before she was allowed to open it. ( With some help of course!) And we all laughed throughout the entertaining process of figuring out the problem…

This Christmas present was the most loved one on Christmas Eve. Handmade, beautiful, and engaging its receiver for several minutes before revealing its content.

No money spent, but Love, Time and Interest. Sometimes that is just enough.

Travel theme: Fabric

 

I believe we all love fabric, and we all go looking for them in the market and in shopping centres and…love to surround ourselves with them at home.

Thank you, Ailsa for always having lovely themes and keeping us going! Click here for more inspiration and join in yourself!
