Decoration

The Christmas cheer was everywhere. I visited the mall with my friend just to view the decorations. They had a giant Christmas tree. I enjoyed and loved this so much that I clicked a picture and here we go. Amongst so many people taking pictures it was difficult to take an exclusive one. Finally, I did manage to take one.

The decoration was a piece of art and creativity.

Desk

This is my work desk. I do all my writing here. I have a laptop, a desktop, a printer, and some pictures and it keeps a pleasant environment. I spend a lot of time on my study. I have always loved a desk of my own.

In my workplace, my desk was always loved by my staff. I loved to keep unique little things and it was always neat and creative. Most of my young juniors enjoyed copying me and made their desks a creative and enjoyable place to work in with lovely pictures and small curios too.

I love this little Shitzu Momo. She is active and vibrant and barks so much when I go to my son's home. She greets me by jumping up and down till my granddaughter says enough. Stop barking your greeting time is over. Now be quiet,

Momo then sits quietly by my side and looks to one side at me and puts her ear on my lap and looks as if she is listening to everything that I say to her and there is a secret between us. She is fun to be with.

Doll

When I went to Vienna, I was sitting in a beautiful place. There were some boutique shops and coffee restaurants with outside sitting spaces and a lovely garden around.

I have never forgotten the sight of the place. Sipping the most amazing coffee, I could see some beautiful artifacts on the shelves. They were well-lit and very inviting.

I asked my host if we could go and take a peek at these shops. She agreed to go along with me and see if there was something interesting.

There were lots of beautiful things but expensive and the exchange rate was high. I left the shop and thought to myself. Is it worth buying these expensive things? Surely these would be available in our local markets.

After a little while, the shopkeeper came out and saw us. He became pretty friendly when I told him that I liked the beautiful musical doll. The doll makes a complete round and it still works. He gave me a discount of 20% and I bought it.

It is the pride of my family room. Every young kid has played with it. They broke many of my beautiful pieces but this still stands smartly in the show window.

Travel does bring beautiful experiences and lovely artistic and creative pieces for us to admire or buy.

Dahlias

I was passing by and I saw a cart that was full of flowers in flower pots. I looked at them lovingly.

The vendor asked me politely, “Ma’am would you like to buy some flowers? They are in flower pots so you can put them in your home and they will last you for quite some time.

I eyed the flowers. I had Chrysanthemums already. I decided to settle for the Dahlias. He had just 5 flower pots and they were all pink dahlias so I bought them all.

Thank you Allisonn Church for the D challenge and also to JoAnn for my posts in your wonderful publication.
