Earlier this week we received a surprise package from Marie, her family and my cousin Moira. They sent us lots of new friends, buttons, a cool hippo stapler, and yummy Maple sugar mints. We are very happy with this awesome surprise, and the new animals will all get a great new home here, I can assure you.
Thanks Marie!

Today there was a flea market in honor of King's Day (King's Day is to celebrate our King's birthday). We had a look at what was for sale and found 5 books. Three of them are for Voodoo Bride, but I found
City of Bones and
City of Ashes. I was lucky, because there was a girl who saw the books just before I saw them. Luckily she only wanted
City of Bones, but the seller didn't want to sell the books separately. I don't know if I will like these books, but the two of them were cheap enough I decided to take the chance. Voodoo Bride is very happy with her books as well.
