When we were in London almost six years ago, I was always in search of some Waldorf things. Even in a big city like London it wasn't so easy.<br /><br />Great you're back to some rhythm. It's so important for a harmonious family life. We basically took last week off because of illness and company. Towards the end everybody got kind of cranky and was glad to get back to our schedule this morning. <br /><br />You know, my parents also reported those low temperatures and my brother in Kiel got lots of snow (it never snows in Kiel). King Winter seems to be really visiting Europe right now. <br /><br />May I ask what book of prayer you are reading for yourself during Advent?Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831448349166435125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-13066527876000562832010-11-28T16:06:58.425-05:002010-11-28T16:06:58.425-05:00Thanks for both the links!

I've treated myself to a book about prayer as my Advent read and of course I ordered two of the tommie de paola books for the little ones. We already have a growing collection of Advent/ Christmas books so we will use some of them as resource materials too.<br /><br />Please God we are back on with the Oak Meadow lessons. Despite struggling health problems with me, Dave and little man we need a rhythm to our days so I'm hoping we'll manage little things daily.<br /><br />We've had snow again this evening and so it has warmed slightly, we've had temperature reading of -5 which is unheard of in these parts. I'm glad we live in the city and not the countryside as they've been recording temps of -10!<br /><br />Keep warm and well<br />San xWoolly Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15853726217252062976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-78322743579208711842010-11-27T14:46:01.457-05:002010-11-27T14:46:01.457-05:00Hello San,

We've been collecting them for almost 12 years, starting out with small familiar animals like birds, bunnies, horses. When the children were little they each would ask for one figure for their birthdays and Christmas. My parents have contributed a lot to this collection -- they are still cheaper in Germany than over here. Sometimes we purchased some figures when we knew that they weren't made anymore. You can get them at a discount then.<br />Do you know <a href="http://www.salago.co.uk/acatalog/index.html" rel="nofollow">Salago</a>? They also sell Ostheimer in the U.K. There is also <a href="http://www.laughingbeartoys.co.uk/default.aspx" rel="nofollow">Laughing Bear Toys</a>. Maybe one of those stores will have better prices? <br /><br />We're still all recovering, rest and quiet will do wonders.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831448349166435125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-40342328869396341802010-11-27T11:21:11.355-05:002010-11-27T11:21:11.355-05:00We actually have a dusting of snow here over the p...We actually have a dusting of snow here over the pond!<br /><br />Did I spy osteheimer figures in that shelving unit next to Miriam? Now I really do envy you!! I keep looking at them in the Myriad catalogue, so many to choose from and of course they are not cheap. Have you collected them over the years and if so what figures did you start out with?<br /><br />Hope you are all continuing to rest quietly, sometimes being sick is our bodies way of forcing us to slow down and go within, if that makes sense!<br /><br />Blessings San xWoolly Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15853726217252062976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-30735534311460545362010-11-27T08:11:11.142-05:002010-11-27T08:11:11.142-05:00Thank you Dorina, do you get lots of birds?

I love your unusual chess people. They must have brightened up the day for the brown ones.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831448349166435125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-8541270022642771232010-11-26T23:01:37.244-05:002010-11-26T23:01:37.244-05:00quiet days are always my favorite, and how excitin...quiet days are always my favorite, and how exciting to have a dusting of snow. your cardinal is the perfect winter photo.dorinalouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997381262511104320noreply@blogger.com
