Reading a couple of mysteries – that is also my way to relax. I saw the Café Lalo last year when we were in NYC but did not go inside – a big mistake I see. A couple of years ago I bought a bedspread make of a multitude of these yoyo things, all different colors. I still need to sew a back for it. I was thinking about making a small cushion top of yo yos using my husband’s discarded ties – now I’ll know where to get the pattern, thank you. <br />Your cups are very pretty – how many different ones do you have?Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-43578063657045331662011-09-18T00:54:05.879-07:002011-09-18T00:54:05.879-07:00Dear Frances,

All the pears are blowing off my pear tree before they have ripened, which is aggravating.
