And hey, there are still some handmade PIF-gifts waiting for lucky
new owners at Kristi's blog. Hurry up!
Abby started a Beautiful Book Week and that's just
the right thing for me as a bookworm and bookcollector!
The one above gave my father to me, it's from 1957.
The title "Das Faxenbuch" is translated "The jestbook".
It's so charming old-fashioned and if you like to toss or
learn little legerdemains (I do!) a treasure trove.
"Het Plantenrijk" = "The plant kingdom" is a Dutch
translation from a British original edition from 1966.
It's a schoolbook.There are beautiful graphics in it
and inspiring drawings. Besides I like the Dutch
language, though I don't understand all of it.
Kristy posted a beautiful link to porcelain jellyfish
made by coe&waito.
Our mini and young fig tree had one ripe fruit in summer (was delicious).
But still it bears some small figs, they taste a bit dry and not very sweet.
The weather was too cold and rainy this summer!
Frank and the kids brought this along from a walk.
Must be a kind of rose, I'm not sure. Beautiful anyway.
PIF-news:
My 3. PIF-joiner eventually answered, so there are
now four persons who take part. That's very nice!
I'll start working on it immediately.
Quite at the beginning of blogging I posted a picture puzzle.
Here's another one:

You can see if you were right, when you click on the picture.

I didn't hear anything from my 3. commenter, if he'd like to join PIF,
so I think he won't. There's one free place for somebody who wants
to get a surprise parcel from me with a handmade gift and sends
himself a parcel to three others. Want to join?
There are so many cats in the neighbourhood coming to our pond for
fishing. If one of them was successful, the goldfish are a bit shy and
hide out on the ground for some time. (They don't bemourn a fellow
right now as you can see.)
Elly linked on her blog to the Björk video "Who is it?", don't miss!
Björk is wearing an incredible dress in it. She really is a style ikon.
Still one free PIF- place on Emma's blog !!
Found this on the dissolving of a household. It's a plastic teether.
The inscription says: "Babydent". Love the colour mix!
I have a weakness for niche topics and flickr is a rich source therefor.
Two fancy flickr groups are: Let's Kiosk and Sofa Free

So, I joined "PIF-pay it forward", the fabulous thing, that has been
started by Heather Smith Jones.
Here the rules:
I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment
on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don't know what
that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week,
but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only
thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same
promise on your blog.
What a nice idea, Heather, so many surprise parcels all over the world.
(I was lucky enough to be one of the first 3 on smosch's blog :)
P.S.: Heather told me in her comment, that she wasn't actually the
initiator of PIF, but joined as well. So, thanks dear Heather for clearing
and thanks to you unknown for starting PIF :)

It's getting colder here!
These earrings I made from 18ct gold and added freshwater pearls.
Wolf Erlbruch is one of Germany's most popular picture book illustrators.
You can take an entertaining walk through his works here.
(The site is in German and French.)
