My exchange card and ornament arrived this Saturday from Dagmar Steinbachova
in the Czech Republic! My husband said, "You know someone in the Czech
Republic?" He was as excited as I was. 8-)) We looked at the stamps and
grinned, because we know at one time we might not have been able to receive
mail from there.
What a thrill to get an ornament from so far away! My new, beautiful
ornament has a place right on the front of my tree, so I can show everyone
and tell them the story of how I came to own it. I'm really proud to show it
off. Thank you so much! Please know Dagmar that you're being new at bobbin
lace made absolutely no difference to me. Your ornament was unique,
beautiful and well made. It's Dagmar's own design!
It came on a pretty green card which really made the ornament stand out.
Here's what it looks like:
It's a round, red and gold ornament (perfectly round.) I think the red has
some silver with it. The really beautiful thing is that it has a top layer
of gold braid and picot! The idea of 2 layers was really inspiring, and I
want to try that (if I can figure out how she did it) 8-))
She also sent post cards. What beautiful architecture! One of the buildings
had 2 onion domes and a Star of David in the center. I thought, "Maybe
that's a synagogue." Sure enough on the back, it said velka synagogo Divadlo
J. K. Tyla.
Thanks, Dagmar for the priceless ornament, the cards and the friendly
letter.
I'm so happy we did this exchange!
Mary
