Hopefully I will be able to post today! I have been having a lot of blogger problems of late,thus the amount of time since the last one...I've tried google chrome quite a few times but the last time it was apparently corrupted & kept shutting my computer down at really annoying times. Enough said...
Last Thursday I wanted to post about 'Say No To Bullying' Day. The day was not about raising money but encourages everyone to wear orange to show their solidarity against bullying & to raise awareness of how prolific bullying is in society, whether in the home, schoolyard, workplace, street or online. Mousie's school encouraged all the kids & parents to wear something orange, decorated the school front gates with orange balloons & streamers & also included lessons, discussions & activities on the subject.
Me, being a big lover of orange, have many things I've collected of that colour around the home...here is my tribute to ORANGE (if blogger allows me to add pictures today ;-))
 |
| Stained glass box made by my Dad..& Mr Tickle |
 |
| My favourite storage boxes & one of my many vintage craft books. |
 |
| Mousey's favourite chair...also favoured by our cat Maximus who is having a Mr. Tickle massage! |
 |
| Orange beads in an orange pyrex ramekin. |
 |
| Orange fish...created & sewn by Mousie. |
 |
| Some of my collection of orangey fabrics. Most vintage, some newish. |
 |
| Mousey in her orange themed skirt (pattern made & whipped up in under an hour by Mummy Mouse) for 'Say No To Bullying' day. |
 |
| Australian tangellos...unusual orange flowers...in my favourite op-shopped bowl. Made in Brazil, the bowl has an attached stand & is 30cm across. I paid $12 for it but have never seen another even remotely like it...beautiful, & in perfect condition xxx |
 |
| One very orange sunrise over Ipswich. |
 |
| One very unusual *shudder* spider type beastie living in our Macadamia tree! |

ReplyDeleteThanks Dee, I wasn't sure if it was a worldwide day...I'm sure most of us have been bullied at some time...*shudder* I have some memories from Primary School that were actually caused by a teacher saying something nasty...that was grade 5 & lucky for me we moved when I started High School (grade 7 in NSW, AUS) so 'only' had a year & a bit to put up with that crap!
ReplyDeleteOrange is so happy isn't it...& that was a couple of days of crazy sunrises...from fires about 50km away!
