Hello folks :) It's that time of the month when we join Hawthorn and friends over at I live, I love, I craft, I am me... for the monthly scavenger hunt. I hope you enjoy my offerings.

Blue
The evening before the full moon this month my GKB
snapped this. A lovely royal blue sky don't you think?
Aged about three. This is me sitting on a little wooden rocking chair. Every December one of the department stores in town ordered in dozens of these little chairs and just before Christmas my grandfather would go down and get enough for the small grandchildren and paint them a lovely shiny red. We loved them.
Starts with a ...W
A warning - sign seen at Orana Wildlife Park in Christchurch when we visited last month. I found it rather amusing as the animals mentioned include big cats.
Rainbow
A large group of people with flags in Aotea square, Auckland.
The flags were very bright and colourful, a rainbow of colours.
Arch
On the outskirts of Alexandra in Central Otago, the arches
from the original bridge crossing the Clutha River.
Part of the modern arch of the new bridge is to the right.
Toy
Do you see the fishing rod in here. To my GKB it is the ultimate toy. In fact he loves this one so much that he has more in the garage cluttering the place up waiting in case he fancies a change. Why he would need more than one is beyond me as he can only use one at a time or take the risk of having everything confiscated (including the very expensive license) if he is caught with more than one in use. This was after a day at the river.
Brought out to celebrate their 80th birthday.
Tip Top Ice Cream's new flavour - Birthday Cake Swirl.
Very nice too, but not my favourite :)
Brush
I hope you can see this brush. It is very pale pink and sitting on the white background it has tended to fade away. I was going through the stuff in my old glory box (hope chest) when I found this little china pram with the brush sitting in it. The brush was a baby gift on the birth of my eldest daughter, who is about to turn 50 in a few days, and the pram was part of a flower arrangement sent into the nursing home while we were in there.
Nail
The same daughter's wedding nails
nearly forty years later. Very elegant.
nearly forty years later. Very elegant.
My choice
I like this neon sign. It used to be on the top of a butchery in the city, which has been demolished. The pig is now housed in Toitu Settlers Museum. He's rather colourful and I tossed up between him and the flags for the rainbow prompt.
If you want to see how others handled the prompts
