A GLASS HEDGEHOG ORNAMENT!
OK, So a few years ago when we lived in our last apartment, we had a very mean neighbor below us. He would pound loudly on the ceiling just from gingerly walking around our space. We could hear quite footfalls from above us, but never thought it necessary to be angry at them, it's the drawbacks of apartment living. Anyway, the Christmas we were there I had a very special glass hedgehog ornament. Those of you who really know me know this is my FAVORITE animal. As we were setting up the tree, he pounded so completely loudly right under my feet that I jumped in the air and dropped what I was holding. I swear for a split second I thought he had shot a gun at the ceiling and it really freaked me out. When I got my nerve back up to put my ornaments on my tree again I looked sadly down to my poor little hedgie ornament that was broken beyond repair. I quickly went back to Cost Plus to see if I could get more, and sadly they were already all gone.
For years since I've tried every ornament shop since to try and find new ones. And here today one almost falls in my lap, well finding out where to shop anyway.
My sweet blog-friend Sondra wrote me here yesterday to tell me she just got a catalog for plow and hearth and that there were some hedgies in it and that she thought of me when she saw them, how sweet! So I went and looked at the items she pointed out to me, all I can say is so cute! And then I went on to search Hedgehog on the site to see what other things there might be, and then I saw this!
I'm ecstatic! I so want this sweet, handsome little thing adorning my tree. He's even cuter than the one I sadly lost. Oh, I hope I'll be able to get at least one before they sell out. So sweet!
Thanks Sondra for telling me about the items in the catalog.
The chocolates look yummy, but I don't think I could eat a hedgie, and the brush style ornament has been a favorite of mine, yes, I love them. I have the one standing up, but still don't yet have the brush style that's down on all fours. It's fun knowing that a friend I've made on-line has gotten to know me so well as to be able to tell me things she's come across that she'd know I'd like. Thanks Sondra, that really put a smile on my face!
I STILL have this cold, but thankfully was able to feel just well enough to get to church yesterday. I'm still coughing a lot, lots of lung junk, and a come and go sore throat, but for the most part I think I'm finally heading towards being on the mend. I just pray it continues to leave so I can get well enough again to take my arthritis injection. It never completely takes away my symptoms, but it does enough to make taking them worth it, and then when I can't it feels like all my symptoms are taking over again. Oh the joys of living with an auto-immune disorder!
Well, here's hoping that I can squirrel away a little of the grocery money next week, and get myself this sweet little guy. Thanks again Sondra!
