I'll show you what I've bought.......but don't tell Neil!

Tomorrow is our 5th Wedding Anniversary - our Wooden Anniversary.
We already have a wooden loving spoon
which would have been a perfect present and so I have been on a mission at our local shopping centre. I wanted something a little quirky but useful.

And I think I've found it.

It was handcarved in India by people who are part of a scheme to get people off the streets. The chap did tell me more but I've forgotten what else he said, as I knew I would. I did tell him it would be useful to have a little card or flyer to include and he did agree and may do something in the future, but for now you have to be content with minimal info - sorry. I can't even remember the type of wood!


Anyway, this is the little character.





Any ideas what it is?




Well, see if this photo gives you any hints?






Don't know?,



Well, take a look at this!



Isn't it brilliant? Now that Neil has to have reading glasses he's for ever leaving them lying around, this will stop them getting lost or damaged and is quite an attractive little ornament.

I hope he likes it as much as I do!
But don't tell him about it, I don't want to spoil the surprise!
