France: bee gif

OK so this isn't the best gif in the world, it didn't help that the flowers were bobbing about in the breeze, but you get an impression of how massive this bee is!  I have never seen an entirely black bee before but this fella was just loving the flowers next to where I was lounging reading my book, his wings are an amazing iridescent blue/black and his legs as you can see were laden with pollen.

Bees

It's a certain MozzyMa's birthday soon, I won't spoil the surprise by telling you what we have got her but I did want to show you the wrapping paper we made before we have to post it off.  Using the bee rubber stamp set I purchased from TC Witchcraft Factory we customised it to the max!

The Palace of Kitsch

There are many reasons MozzyMr and I were lucky to find one another, one of these reasons is a mutual love of kitsch.  A taste in Kitsch we have been told is nudging the line of taste, kitsch that few of our friends understand (one day I'll take a photo of our collection of dog pictures that owners have painted, they're awful and great), but a kitsch that I love because even if we turn up at a car boot sale late it's safe to say no one else would have purchased the items we like.

My most favourite money box, whenever we move house this is seriously over wrapped and over protected.  I know I'm the only one to love this, but love it I do and it never fails to make me smile.

Ahhh golden Bambi.  Not only an object d'art, but a pen holder and thermometer combined hazaar!

So I have the money box and MozzyMr has his resin collection.  I didn't like these for quite a while but having lived with them for a while I see they have a taxidermy quality that I quite like.

Fake bumble bee paperweight.  I found this at a car boot sale, I was deciding whether to get it for MozzyMr as a Christmas present, as I was stood there with it in my hand, Mozzy came along took it out of my hand and bought it.  If only I had been quicker off the mark he could have opened it on Christmas day and I would be basking in the light of gratitude having purchased him his all time favourite bee related item (he likes bees a lot).
