Sunday

                                                           

                                 Today I visited a fish hatchery just down the road from my home.
                 
                                I also stopped by my local antique market and discovered a friend
                                      for a similar wooden bear I found many, many years ago!

                                          The painted wooden mug has a paper stamp marked
                                                            USSR, 1984 on the bottom.

I loved this fella as a child

feathers pulled to reveal a red heart

a bunch of these came home with me

A dear, dear friend of mine had to let go of someone very close to her last night.  She asked me to find beautiful things for my post today, so these images are for her.  As I tried to do some Holiday shopping I found myself in tears over the Christmas carols...my heart is far away with her tonight.  Love you, L.
