Two Bones and a Bagle: A Mothers Love

I bought these today. The ladies in the CS thought I was quite mad. I could tell. They looked at me and smirked but not in a rude way. I told them I loved a spindly tree. The spindlier the better. One lady said 'it will show off the baubles won't it'. It most certainly does. They also told me the gentleman who brought them in said they were over 60 years old. I bet they could tell a tale or two, don't you. When I brought them into the house the girl's declared they were trees only a mother could love. Well this mother loves them - do you?

Look at it's spindly glory some of the branches are so puny they can't take the weight of even a teeny tiny bauble. I had to rob some of the baubles from the other trees. (Yep I have a few). Good excuse to buy some more!

This one is even spindlier and someone has given it a light frosting of emulsion. This is on my kitchen window bottom with just two glass birds and a plastic star on it. Beautiful.

Oh Christmas Tree how skinny are your branches!

Oh I got this today too - it's plastic and quite tacky and was 10p

Merry Kitschmas.

Will continue with LND I just couldn't wait to post these.

Washers beeping gotta go - oh how exciting is my life!

Strange Name

Quite simple really Dylan - our dog - loves to hide things around the house - especially food items. Now sometimes its one of his own treats, sometimes its a crust or a sweetie wrapper -he is a tinker. On one occasion in a mad episode of cleaning (not a favourite past time of mine) I moved the sofa low and behold I found two bones and a bagel - I immediately announced to Nellie (DD2) that it would be a fab name for a blog. So there you are the reason behind the name.

Doh in a Simpson's styleee just realised that in my blog name I have misspelt bagel - well it will have to stay as I have no intention or nowhow as to how to change my blog name. After all it has taken me two years to get around to/pluck up the courage to jump in = I don't want to spoil it now. LOL.

When I took it home the girls looked at me with such pity and couldn't believe a) that I had paid money for it or b) that I was actually going to put it where people could see it! It is sitting in pride of place again this year and it makes me smile everytime I look at it.
Merry Christmas Debs and thanks for sharing.

Diane said...: Was it the washer beeping, or the door bell ringing? I'm sure little men in white coats in a green van were heading your way! You know the house by the canal on the way to Shireoakes ??? Is he related?? When I used to work in "the proper office" in the 80's, our office tree was made out of dyed birds feathers. It used to freak me out! I love Mary and Baby Jesus. xxxxxx; 23 December 2011 at 17:23
