The Mantle Shelf

It’s been a busy week with not much coming up in Facebook Archives.

5 August 2020

The anniversary bouquet Ferretfingers gave us needed sorting out (the lilies had dropped all their petals) and I remembered the elephant toby jug I'd had on top of the dresser for years.

(It cost me £2.50 in Pinocchio's sale in Monument Mall.)

I realised the little mantle shelf is the perfect home for all those smaller elephants that have been almost invisible on top of the dresser for such a long time

By the way, I have enough elephants. 

It's a thing between me and Henffrind since we left school. 

Similarly penguins is a thing between me and Squireen since the Falklands Crisis.   

And lambs/sheep from my siblings (due to mother calling me her Little Pet Lamb for far too long).

Unless in medium of chocolate, which I can eat, or soap, which I can put in my drawers or shower with.

I only pointing this out because Fester's eyes lit up when he saw them and he said 

"Oh, I'm sure Ferretfingers and I can find some in charity shops" 

and I had to be quite firm.   

We've had to have Delft racks put up since he learnt I like blue & white china.

Mrs Leftfoot you would be proud!
