Trying to salvage something from a trip to Peterborough to renew, at great expense, my expired passport two days before we were due to go on holiday, long-suffering friend Anne indulged me while I wandered round an oriental supermarket in the city. We loved the packaging and bright displays, but what really caught my eye was some hummungous cinnamon sticks - they must be nearly a foot long! Ideal candidates for a bit of gussying-up for the festive season. Now I haven't been able to devote myself entirely to crafting at the moment, having DH in hospital for a couple of days and several shepherds pies to make for the village Women's Institute harvest supper tomorrow, but over the past few days I gradually managed to assemble these. 
They smell all Christmassy, but I think would be lovely all year round in one of those well-ordered homes where things are artfully arranged in French-themed shabby-chic vignettes on pretty side tables. i.e. not mine!! So they'll have to be pressies, or decoration on a little craft stall I'm having locally in November. Yes. Perhaps so.

They are beautiful - in fact far too lovely ever to use!
Don't know if it is too far for you, but Jennyflower is organizing another Makeydo in Kent in November - email me if you're interested.

So beautiful!
They do look beautiful. I wish my laptop had "smellyvision"
Gorgeous Chrissie! The cinnamon sticks I mean - well, you too ofcourse. Where is your November craft stall going to be? Can I come and buy? You'd better not sell all my favourites before I get there .........

These cinnamon sticks are Lovely! I can almost smell them all the way over here!
Thinking of you and sending best of all thoughts.
Thank you all, and for your good wishes for DH too.
Yes, someone does need to invent 'scratch and sniff' for laptops!
They are very chic cinamon sticks now! x
