Nutcracker is a very famous ballet (obviously based on the famous story). the Australian ballet does it too

[@JuliesJournals]

Thanks for your comment, and yes I was told that last year, when I was confused, but here we still don't really associate The Nutcracker with Christmas. I asked a few people at my art class and they didn't know much about it either so its just a local thing lol.

Nice haul 🤗 the post cards are beautiful. I love finding Christmas cool decorations too

[@JuliesJournals]

Yes it was fun

Morning Julie, Such a pleasure to be able to "visit" with you again. Your hoard this week is amazing!!! Just love the vintage postcards and also the Australian Bird Address book, it is beautiful. Lots of possibilities for collaging and, or, covers for journals. We will not even mention the Edith Holden biography 🥲🥲, have been S E A R C H I N G for ANYTHING to do with her, but to no success. Love that you discovered such a treasure. Actually, I loved all your treasures, lots of fun goodies to have a play with. Julie, one question please, heard from Leigh that she was not doing the monthly challenge we have been doing since (I thing February), please tell us that you will carry on with it, it was sooooo much fun, treasure hunting for all the challenges. I think it will be sorely missed, PLEASE continue with it, even if it is in another guise. Thanks, again, for all you are doing, just remember to do what you feel you can manage. Look after yourself, love to the furbabies, your mum and of course, Blessings and hugs from Cape Town. Diana 🙂🦊🦊

Hi Diana, yes don't worry I will do something, but it will be just me, I felt bad not continuing with the last one, that I let the others down by not continuing. So will just do it myself.

P.S. Julie, I think the Challenge was called "The Scavenger Hunt" we did one a month. Lots of fun was had. Thanks again. Enough from me for now. 😉😊🙃🦊🦊

[@JuliesJournals]

Yes, I think the scavenger hunt version is easier and fun. Will probably continue something similar.

[@janetnash]
