Thank you so much Ana for these pretty jugs! The filigree jug is a 'companion' to one Ana sent me some time ago, they'll make a beautiful pair together. I'm sorry the photo doesn't do justice at all to the handpainted paper jug - I don't seem to be able to get the macro focus right today which is a pity :( The deep purple and red colours are fantastic, and the design is wonderful. Ana also sent me another lovely tatted doiley so now I'll be able to mount and frame them as a pair - how lucky I am!! Ana is an accomplished artist and miniaturist, her blog, Arts and Miniatures, has good quality photos of her incredible work so please visit her and see for yourself.
And I have a second surprise package, this one is from Flora...
Everything is just perfect for the French apartment, thank you so much Flora! A little 'shabby' and oh so 'chic' :) There are lots more pretty creations just like these on Flora's blog - click here to visit her.
The second semester has started so I'm back at university again which means I need to be "head down and tail up" for a few weeks. That'll mean I won't have much time to spend in Blogland, but I do hope to keep an eye on what's going on so even if I'm not commenting on your posts you can be sure I'll be lurking over your shoulder somewhere, sometime ;)

Thanks everyone for your comments, and your good wishes for this semester's study :)
To answer your question Sans - is it fun? Language classes are fun I think, others maybe not 'fun' but most are interesting - even the ones that make my brain want to explode because they are difficult! (And I've got a few of those coming up this semester!) You should definately look further into the Arts History degree, it's obvious from your blog that you are interested in researching your projects, might as well put all that effort it to good use :)

Hi Norma - have just spent ages having a look at your lovely blog after you found mine vbg! And I've followed through looking at a couple that you follow too - a lovely way to spend the day.
I went back to uni to study too, then again to do a postgrad degree so I know the work it is - but I loved every minute of it! All the best. Sandra (Snippets from my studio).
