Day 136: I Do My Christmas Shopping

Thanks to the good artisans at the Cheltenham Christmas Fair, I have done all my Christmas shopping in ten minutes - and in the pouring rain, too!

For the gentlemen in my life (inc. Tiny Post Master and the Shopkeeper), a wooden tie. Made of the finest Wood cut in the approximate shape of a tie, cut into smaller pieces with a jigsaw and mounted on elastic, Wooden Ties! (or Ties! Wooden), will provide an amusing talking-point for all the family on Christmas morning. They're guaranteed to please pranksters of all ages.























For the ladies in my life, an Animal made of Fake Pearls with Staring Eyes. An attractive addition to any collection of pointless gee-gaws and porcelain figurines, Fake Pearl Animals will carry on collecting dust and unidentifiable sticky substances for years to come. They truly are an Heirloom of the Future.
























Coming Soon: It takes me nearly two hours to drive two miles, but I am helped by a Blind Man and two Brummies in a truck; I go to Cheltenham's Premier Nightclub (and Member's Bar); I eat sausages for two days with Unfortunate Consequences; we are helped into town by Andy and Colin (although Denise has a license too).

This reminds me of items my Aunt has made. One item was her chicken in a coop wall art where the chicken was made with scallop/mussel shells with chicken wire covering it. The frame was made to look like old recycled fencee boards.
