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!

This is FAB - lucky you :-) - and I thought painting took long - Thom Thoms work must take AGES! There is an artist here called Hennie Stroebel - he combines knitting/embroidery with enormous ceramic pots - I think him and Thom would get on :-) X

What a wonderful cute mail, I had my first mail by Thom Courcelle this week and I loved every little detail of it!

Sunday morning? Now afternoon. I know it's confusing... :-)

You get the gold, Marie, most deservedly. What morning? I'm half fallen over on the couch after a long day.

Oh Nancy, you are brightening up my rather dull morning. A rust shower, laugh!! :-)) If anyone deserves to be showered with gold it is you, not me. I'm sure Thom is reading this and will be sending you a proper shower of some kind :-))

And I thought COB was intricate. It was/is. In some ways this is even more so. If Marie gets showered with gold, could I have a rust shower? Just putting it out there. Open covetousness.
