Post Office

[jennyjoan]

My local post office had a beautiful Xmas decoration in the window - I would have liked to buy one but they had none left and the one in the window was a little faulty.

It was an umbrella - largish - inside out containing a Xmas scene like a wee village with Santa, a wee house and lights on a tree. Something like that. I have googled it to no avail. Anybody help. Thanks

Ask them where they got it from?

[jennyjoan]

Well the lady wasn't in yesterday - this particular one said she would find out from their "suppliers" if they had any more - I sorta wouldn't like to ask - as it would look as if I am going behind their back etc. She will be in on Tuesday so will get a race up then.

Is this it (unfortunately this is an American site)

no Tuvok - the umbrella is inside out and the village sits on it. Really is lovely - wanted to get it for sista not for me. I have described it on my first post but what really caught my eye there is a heap of imitation snow on the "ground" and you plug it in (electric) and the snow "rains"/moves out of like a lamp

woofie - they are very good links but it is not it. Santa, a little house, lamp with snow pouring out of it - like a wee mini street.

thanks Tony - that worked but again LOl not there. Will hang on until Tuesday and go back to Post Office if not - will have to look for something else. Sista's house is dazzling with everything Aladdin's Cave but gleaming. Nothing I can buy this woman. I have told her this is the last - nothing if I am around for birthdays and Xmas next year - presents - they are just a waste of money. Already I have gathered stuff for Thrifty/Second hand shop - soaps, lotions, shower gel etc etc. New Clothes. Hope somebody enjoys them.

Thanks Tony. What I did Jenny, was type into google umbrella base xmas decorations.

[jennyjoan]

[tonyav]
