there was that

Reindeer hide that I didn’t buy the last time I was in Copenhagen. There they were in the airport at a lower price than I saw anywhere in either Greenland or Iceland complete with packing container and import certificates.

But I didn’t buy one.

In fact I forgot all about it till I was wandering through Costco several months later. No, they didn’t have reindeer hides. But they did have quad sheepskins (origin Australia/New Zealand where we know there are more sheep than people). I looked at them, felt them. The price was seriously lower than I had paid for a single one more than a decade ago at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival.

And I bought one for me.

(and if I can get a file to upload – I will even show you my warm and fuzzy comfort)

 

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
