Definitely not from Paris!

Hermes sends me regular updates
I am on their mailing list
I love the look of this new equestrian silk scarf!
I adore the colours
I could wear it when I go and visit my sister and see her horses.

Grammy-in-waiting here, that's me aka The Hostess, has started to buy a few little toys.
Grammy wants to have a collection of play things at the Bungalow

I found these two charming little finger puppets which were hand knit by women in Peru
I was smitten with their faces
I took an inordinate amount of time selecting just two
they all were so adorable!


LPC from the blog privilege recently returned home from a trip to Paris.
She showed us her designer mitt purchases and I realized that my mitts would be in the Hall of Shame!

Look at these disgraceful mitts!
I have washed them too.

Here are the new ones.
Not designer mittens
not from Paris
from the local cookery shop

I can feel much better now
I am Keeping Up Appearances.

Smart new mitts for your mitts (as Faux Fuschia would say!)... And what about those knitted toys?! I LOVE knitted toys and I would have been exactly the same taking ages over the selection - they have to have a friendly faces - ts a must!x

I ran out to the kitchen to check MY mitts. I could use some new ones, too!

Funny - I just mentioned Keeping Up Appearances on my lifeandgodliness blog yesterday! It is one of the few TV shows we watch religiously.

Where is the Hermes? Am I missing something? ? I see your old oven mitts, mine look much the same, I would have loved to join you in the Hall of Shame ; ), so now it is only me there. I have a very cute collection of finger puppets too. Waiting--- I´ll show them some time. We can play with them while waiting :)

Toys at granny's house are the best. And just so as you know, I would never look down on anyone for old oven mitts. Especially not someone who ever cooked for me:).

metscan-the Hermes scarf is the in background image on the computer screen. I will look forward to the finger puppet reveal!

LPC-If you came to the Bungalow for dinner...I'd make sure I had pristine mitts!

LOL I keep forgetting to even buy mitts, and when I do look; they're never in a colour I like. I just use random pot holders, or tea towels.
