    Holidays for Heroes - leather keyrings - ends 28th August 2012

    Here's another of what Auld_Yin calls my 'wee auctions'


    An assortment of leather keyrings.

    They consist of a metal keyring, with a leather fob in the shape of a pony, a teddy bear (surprise!) or a dolphin. They come in a range of colours, and are all hand made and dyed safely with vegetable dyes by our own master of leathercraft, DB216LOKDVR.

    I'm pricing them at £3 each which will include postage to UK or BFPO addresses.

    This is a way Dale can afford a Pony!!!!!

    This thread will run until they're all gone or
    Tuesday, 28th August at 1800 hours (UK Time)

    when I'll add any remaining to our stock for Christmas stalls.

    All proceeds to Holidays4Heroes.
    By bidding or taking part in the auctions in any way, you agree tacitly to abide by the Auction Rules.

    And this you can see is the bolt. The purpose of this
    Is to open the breech, as you see. We can slide it
    Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
    Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
    The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
    They call it easing the Spring.
    They call it easing the Spring: it is perfectly easy
    If you have any strength in your thumb: like the bolt,
    And the breech, and the cocking-piece, and the point of balance,
    Which in our case we have not got; and the almond-blossom
    Silent in all of the gardens and the bees going backwards and forwards,
    For today we have naming of parts.

    3 x Pink ponies for me please, and can I have 2 more fridge magnets? I shoved pennies into the pot yesterday.

    I swear to God that HSBC think that they bank with me.

    Packet addressed and stamped. Will be in the post tomorrow a.m. Hope the ponies fit through your letterbox

    Horsa and Slingsby don't have time to say hi, they're engrossed by this cycling lark. Bears' legs don't allow them to cycle, apparently. And they can't understand why the riders go really slowly at first, and only sprint at the end. Have to say I can't explain that to them.

    Parcel arrived and a curtsey from the Postie.

    I wonder why?

    Probably because it was addressed to HRH The Princess Dale of Snailsville.

    Slug hugs xxxxx
