Gold Shower from Thom Courcelle

[Marie Wintzer]

When I saw that cute little knitting sheep on Thom's envelope I knew I was in for a treat. I have seen several of his knitted pieces on the blogs, some of them as elaborate as jumpers, they show so much creativity and skill. And we all know that famous TRA LIAM stamp :-))

That little knitting sheep has worked very hard and produced a wonderful knitted postcard. The Indian couple having tea makes it look a bit like an exotic talisman. My favorite part is the back of the card saying "you should be showered with gold", and the three pockets, each containing a sheet of gold. How very sweet, Thom. And how can I resist a gold shower. I'll take it, of course. Thank you so much for this great envelope, Thom, much much appreciated!

Thanks for dropping in, Thom!

OH MY GAWSH!!!  You dirty birdies are going to give me a reputation....  However, now that I think about it, I would now like to recreate this piece and send a copy to Rick Santorum. (This is an inside political joke for all you non-Americans... I'm sure you can find out more about the political candidate Rick Santorum by Googling his name...)

Beautiful documentation in your blog, Marie.  Glad you arrived home safe and sound to receive it.

So my title has made people snigger since about Saturday evening and I'm only aware of it now? Isn't it nice not to be a native english speaker.. :-)))

PS. Please tell me where I can get a knitting sheep stamp, I could kill for one if necessary.

Thanks for all your great comments, I'm really happy that this piece got a bit of attention, I'm sure knitting mail-art  takes a loooot of time! I was looking for art by Hennie Stroebel but it's hard to find pictures. A bit of heat this way too pleaz!

A beautiful knitted talisman for sure! 'Love Thom's art...and that little sheepie, too!

You deserve a shower of gold, Marie, great blogs!

Cheryl, send some of that SA heat up to Greece, we are having a cold spell...brrr!
