Folksy 365 - Daily Listing Challenge Thread - AUGUST 2019

Chris @ChrisStoneArtist the kettle is always on in my house and I am just a couple of mins from the M4…I can see it from my house…
Sasha @SashaGarrett I went to Paris for the day when I was 16, I don’t think I have enough time left to do 49 countries…and I don’t even have a passport…Oh well, I will have to dream.x

What!!! no passport - I still have all my old ones with their border stamps in the filing cabinet. I can send you postcards as I work my way round the world if you like? Next up Namibia for some sand dunes and animals.
(and Paris is lovely isn’t it - some amazing art museums)

Very similar to another sunflower card of mine, but this is very slightly different.

I thought I would be the last person on here today, Sasha @SashaGarrett.
So sad when you lose a pet, so my thoughts are with you Sarah @thedotterypotter, but congratulations on your sale
Brenda @teabreaks I too love this group; lovely stuff, fun, laughter and some sadness too.
Love the car Chris @ChrisStoneArtist but love the twenties lady more. She’s great!!

I am getting tired now, so I will look through all the lovely stuff, then go to bed.

See you in tomorrow.

J’aime Paris.
There are indeed some fine art galleries in Paris, some of them not so obvious. My favourite is a little back street museum run by the city council with free admission, specialising in the social history of Paris in art. Some beautiful paintings of often quite bawdy Paris street scenes, café culture, old trams and what have you. I could never find that place again if I tried. There was a very modest looking café around the corner that sold a creme brulée to die for.
The Louvre was hot and crowded and there were so many crowds thronging around the Mona Lisa, that from where I was standing, it was no bigger than a postage stamp.

Good morning
Pretty sure I’ll never be the last on the forum but may occasionally be the first when Max @MaxPringJewellery has the rare lie in!
Sasha @SashaGarrett - my daughter has been to Namibia twice volunteering with the animals - absolutely loved it - went to the sand dunes too :slight_smile: Lovely to see the fordite back again.
Super quiet day at work yesterday - spent most of the day sorting emails! Enjoyed the walk to the station but was glad my sister was there to pick me up the other end :slight_smile: Another 3 days to go before I get a day off - dont think I could manage full time work on a permanent basis anymore, all I want to do when I get home is go to sleep!

A little brooch for you today

Good morning all…the sunshine is back !
Sasha @SashaGarrett …no…no passport…I have never had one…just one of those that was needed for the day trip to Paris…and Chris @ChrisStoneArtist On that trip, I also went to the Louvre and I remember well being told that I could only go in to see the Mona Lisa, IF I paid 12/6d for a set of plastic things to put on my stiletto heels to stop them scratching the floor !!!
We had a coach to Heathrow at 5am in the morning, then a Dan AIr plane (little more than a dormobile with wings) to Le Touquet airport and then a coach to Paris.
I am on my back to the naughty step…another cartoon card today…

Morning all,
Sasha @SashaGarrett what a wonderful thing to do, visiting 50 countries before your 50. I would love to travel, but my partner doesn’t have the same thoughts, and it would be lonely doing it on my own. I think I’ve visited 4 countries in my life! But Max @MaxPringJewellery I’m with you on writing 50 things to do, I started at 50, it’s amazing what I have done. This year’s list has 106 things on it and does not correlate to my age :rofl: so far I have achieved 56 with no hope of doing some of them now, but it would be nice to do a few more.
Today’s listing

I had an email the other day, in my spam folder, saying I’d been hacked and demanding money. I would have just ignored it, had it not been for the fact I’d sent it from me! Which I found worrying, it turns out, according to my computer literate son, they can actually make it look as though you’ve sent yourself an email when it’s from another address, how sneaky is that… And no, I didnt open any links.

Keeping my mouth shut about your card today Brenda @teabreaks - lol! x
Love your cake stand June @junemccabe - so lovely x

I am hoping to finally get the kiln on today - it’s taken me so long! I probably still won’t have much to show you as it will be filled with a lot of Christmas stuff!

My listing today is:
