Fun!
Loved reading all about your latest adventures, especially the dog stories and descriptions of all the food. My two favorite things! Looking forward to seeing photos of your bauble art with the watch parts as my dad was a watchmaker. Your blogs are so descriptive it makes me feel as though I'm right there with you. ❤
