Those carved benches are amazing. I am sure they wanted a small fortune for them!

I love what you got! It is going to look so cute around your pond! And I have a wildflower poster just like yrs but mine is of New Mexico flowers! It's a big ol' poster!

The San Francisco pot is wonderful (uh oh, that sounds BAD -- I am talking about the TERRA COTTA CLAY POT, LOL)!

I love that little burro and cart. Burros are so cute, wish I had me one for a pet!

When I come into a windfall, hehe, I will buy you that table for your telephone. What a talent for someone to be able to carve that!

I'm thinking the flowers of California poster must be very appropriate for you - do you recognize most of them?

The books look useful and interesting too. I bought a whole bunch of cards at a yardsale just a few weeks ago and it was so perfect coz it will save me making some for upcoming events which fall when we are away on vacation.

Have a super weekend, Shirley!
