I'm Back From Miniatura...

After leaving home at 6.15am this morning, I got back indoors at 8.00pm this evening. I've had a wonderful day and I think Nikki did too. Nikki's also safe indoors now. I am totally cream crackered.
I managed to get some photographs and I brought some goodies to show you all, but you'll have to wait till tomorrow to see them, as I need to photograph them. I met up with some old friends who were there as exhibitors and we had a good chin wag to catch up on every one's news.
I went to see Annie Willis of Fine Design and yes I did buy something from her. Unfortunately, Annie doesn't have a web site but can be contacted via email.
She had the most wonderful Eagle Owl on her stall, that has a magnet in its head, when you passed another magnet passed it, the head turned. It was brilliant to watch. She also had the most wonderful bats, but someone had brought the lot, so I was out of luck and at £20.00 a pop, someone went home with a smile on their face.
If you look at the bottom photograph you can see the Tawny Owls. It was one of these that came home with me.. I'll show you the rest of the photographs tomorrow. Going to catch up with everyone else's blogs now, then I'm off to bed...

    Dear Debbie: Thank you for joining my modest blog as a follower! How funny that we both posted photographs of owls on the same day.

    Welcome back Debbie! We missed you and Nikki.Love the owls. The ones that you bought have the same coloring as our Pigmy Owls here in AZ. I am sure that our real ones are much smaller than your Tawny Owls.

    I hope that you both are rested enough to take photos tomorrow. Can't wait to see!

    Hugs, Casey
