Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

{Our Mouth Blown Glass Nativity}

For many countries in Europe, and also Canada, there are TWO official holidays for Christmas. Here in the USA it is only ONE... Would love to know about South America, Africa, Asian countries etc. if they also observe a 2nd official holiday. Therefore I love to show you our tiny, and very special  Mouth Blown Glass Nativity with strips of silver. We got this from dear friend Ellie, from a Dutch 'Wereld Winkel' where they sell so called Fair Trade items. 
Here it is, shown on our unique silk brocade table cloth that husband Pieter did bring back from his trip to China. He went there for Campbell Soup in the People to People Citizen Ambassador Program.

May our Prince of Peace be with us ALL!

    diese gläserne Krippe ist etwas ganz Besonderes, sie hat allein schon durch ihre Farbe und Transparenz eine sehr schöne - himmlische - Ausstrahlung!

  6. Liebe Mariette,

    oh... die blauen Glasfiguren sind so filigran und wunderschön anzusehen -

    ich hab aus Versehen beim Lesen deines Kommentars an mich statt auf "veröffentlichen" auf "lösche" gedrückt, so dass der Kommentar abgelehnt wurde - sorry - meine Finger waren zu schnell -

    ich wünsche dir eine schöne Nachweihnachtszeit -

    liebe Grüße - Ruth
