The Letter 'W'

Today is Thursday, 26th April 2012 and the letter is W. You may recall that I have already posted a treasury about the word 'Wolf' under the letter 'U' for 'Ulv'. (See here.) So, today I am posting an Etsy collection about the colour 'White'. 'W is for White':

Best wishes,
Anna

The Letter 'V'

Today is Wednesday, 25th April 2012 and the letter is 'V'. 'V is for Vermeil!' Pieces of jewellery that are made of Vermeil have a sterling silver base with a layer of gold on top. It is a way of making precious metal jewellery that is less expessive than solid gold, but still of high quality and more valuable than if they had been just gold-plated over base metals such as brass.





Today is my mother's birthday. Happy Birthday, Mother!

Best wishes,

U - Blogging from A to Z in April - Challenge - 24th April 2012

The Letter 'U'

Today is Tuesday, 24th April 2012 and the letter is 'U', which gave me a headache because I could only think of 'Ulv', which is an older Swedish word for 'wolf' (the normal word is 'varg'). I've got other plans for the letter 'W', so I will go ahead and do my A to Z-treasury about wolves and just call it 'U is for Ulv':

Why the Swedish? I am inspired by Tina Downey (not Tina of 'parltradet' who has curated all of these treasuries), no, Tina of Life is Good, who is one of the co-hosts for the A to Z Challenge April 2012. Tina is bilingual, and writes, with warmth and humour, about her childhood in Sweden, the people she loves, and about thinking in two languages. She has promised to teach everyone 24 Swedish words. And so far, she is doing an excellent job.

Okey, I'll be nice. Here's a treasury about a real U-word, 'Umbrella': 'U is for Umbrella':




Best wishes,
Anna
