In December I wrote a blog where I mentioned Nutcracker, and I said that I have for a long time wanted to start a collection with nutckracer, though they are not to be found anywhere here in Norway.
And here I am, a few weeks later, the proud owner of two fantastic nutcrackers. Exactly my cup of tea. The one from Pam came during Christmas and found it's place in the windowsill during the holidays. Catherine sent hers slowmail, and it arrived yesterday. A huge packet. What a lovely, lovely surprise. The two nutcrackers didn't know each other, but they seem to go along perfectly. And they have alot to talk about. So far they have exchanged their travel stories over the Atlantic, but I know they will go on to tell each other about the lovely ladies who bought them (and also Catherine's husband who was of great help). The one to the left comes from Ilinois, the one to the right from Brooklyn NY. I have asked both to share their stories with me, but so far they seem quite sky. So I might depend on Pam and Catherine themselves to be told stories from their life and doings. And stories about the life of good friends are the best stories I can have.
Pam and Catherine, again a huge THANK YOU, or as I would say it in Norwegian - TUSEN TAKK. What a wonderful generosity to do this gesture of love and friendship for little ol' me far, far away from you. People like you make our (from time to time unsafe) world a good place to live.
