Many, many years ago, my oldest daughter, Fiona, used to love creating little miniatures out of coloured clay. This was a set she made for one of my birthdays. I decided that, after all these years, I would take them out of their box and use them to wish her a happy birthday for today : ) Happy Birthday, Fiona!

My son was born in Seria, Brunei, Borneo "MANY" years ago, where we lived for three and a half years. Population is a mix of Malays and Chinese. Every year, I look forward to seeing the design for the new Chinese New Year postage stamps for Canada. I reckon they are some of the most beautiful stamps produced in Canada each year - too bad they can't design such spectacular stamps for other occasions, too! The bright red and the raised gold look good together. Chinese New Year begins on January 23rd and Steven's birthday is on January 25th, but sometimes I combine the two for a Flickr post. Thanks once again, fd, for creating the Motivator program : )

Today is my oldest daughter's birthday, so Happy Birthday, Fiona! Couldn't resist quickly snapping these sentimental toys for her. They belonged to my brother in England, who died last Christmas, and they arrived by sea just a few weeks ago. Poor Toffee does look really, really worn, and I know he was a much-loved teddy bear. My mother made the little pink velvet piglet and the knitted piglet a fair number of decades ago : ) Anyone else finding it difficult to do anything on Flickr this evening? When I click on an image or something else, it takes forever to open or work.
