Lumi, kettu ja ananas

The minute I get back home from my shopping & shipping, it snows light little flakes instead of those heavy wet dishcloths that kept slapping me in the face while walking to the city center and back. Some snow seems to actually stay on the ground. That'd be really nice. Here's a living room window view with the not-so-dishclothy flakes.


Then there's the animal guest! I hope Baamshad's mom won't spoil the surprise. This fox needs bigger eyes and a name. Any suggestions? I can handle the eyes myself, but a little help with the name? The fox is made of cotton velvet and details are hand embroidered. It's machine washable, and double stitched to prevent accidental gutting. 13.8" (35cm) long.


And then there's the pineapple! (no picture, you know what pineapples look like)
I bought a pineapple for my husband from the market place. Yesterday I bought him two fresh dates. On Sunday I bought enough oranges for many days to come. So I clearly have a plan to keep buying him fruit, although I suck at buying them. I'm allergic to almost all fruit and I have absolutely no clue when a fruit is ripe (or raw) enough to buy or eat or whatever. I buy the ones that look nice. Who cares how they taste? And by the way, I really hate pineapples.
