Three's A Charm ... #BarAThon

I am taking part in the Blog-A-Rhythm Bar-a-thon challenge. The theme can be anything that requires grit and endurance, but not necessarily fitness related. And there are daily prompts. 

So my theme is simple, it's a blogging marathon about things to do with me in pictures, starting at one and ending at seven.

Today's prompt is Three's A Crowd, but instead I'm going to write on Three's A Charm.

I saw these Christmas ornaments going at a throwaway price last Christmas. I really didn't know what they would look like when I bought them, but I was intrigued and since they were so cheap I thought I would pick them up and check them out. 

These run on solar power and their battery life is very short, a couple of hours at best. So on a cloudy day, they pretty much stay unlit. 

But when the sun's out and the battery is charged up, they are a delight to look at in the dark. They sit on my window sill and I love looking at them.

In this case three is not a crowd, instead it's a charm!




Have you ever bought something with little expectation but turned out quite delightful? Share in the comments.

I love collecting dolls. There was a time when I had a large collection of dolls from all over the world dressed in their country's National costumes. But I've moved houses a few times and though I'm sure my dolls are packed safely in a box somewhere, that box is not easily accessible.

So my daughter gifted these two Japanese dolls for Christmas some years ago. Both are extremely cute and choosing a favourite would be too hard. 

But two together are cuter.




Do you collect anything or did you collect any once upon a time? Share in the comments.

One Too Many ... #BarAThon

I am taking part in the Blog-A-Rhythm Bar-a-thon challenge. The theme can be anything that requires grit and endurance, but not necessarily fitness related. And there are daily prompts. 

So my theme is simple, it's a blogging marathon about things to do with me in pictures, starting at one and ending at seven. 

I'm not explaining this very well but perhaps the pictures will speak for themselves.


This mug was handpainted by me.  Some years ago my friend and I spent an afternoon at a cafe where you could purchase pottery and paint it. So this was my attempt. Not too bad but the best part was the fun we had together. I now use this as a pen/pencil holder. 



This mosaic piece was given to me by my son. He made this in his woodwork class in school. Handmade gifts are very special and I love this one.



I shared two pictures for One so perhaps one too many? But I couldn't make up my mind so had to share both.

Do you have any artefacts that are special to you? Share in the comments below and tell us why they are special.
