Thanks for the nice compliments on my “symbolic rings” layout (see
\nformer post<\/a>) And thanks Lena, for pointing this out to me:<\/p>\n

“Oops\u2026 I just caught you telling a little lie\u2026
\nYour mom did take off one of her rings.
\nThe one she bought after chapter one.
\nShe gave that one away to the winner of a little witch contest.
\nGuess who that winner was\u2026
\nYep, my dd Carmen and she still wears that ring!!
\n(send you a pic later!)”<\/em><\/p>\n

Lena is right, my mom DID take one ring off…
\nI found the old pictures of the book presentation (October 2006)
\nso here is another “little witch story” for you!<\/p>\n

..<\/p>\n

..<\/p>\n

October 14th 2006 the book “Little witch girl” (Het heksenmeisje)
\nwas presented in a bookstore in Middelburg. The local newspaper
\nhad written an article about it in the week before and invited all
\nchildren to come dressed as witches.<\/p>\n

Here’s my mom reading from the book.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

..<\/p>\n

Tiram, head of the local witch circle Nestnerab, was invited to attend
\nas a juror. She brought her sorcerer’s apprentice Tuon with her.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

..<\/p>\n

There were a lot of little witches and they all looked wicked!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

..<\/p>\n

And here’s the winner, the best dressed witch was Carmen!
\nAnd yes, she received the ring my mom bought after finishing
\nthe first chapter of the book.<\/p>\n

(Sorry you have your eyes closed on this photo Carmen,\r\nit was the only photo that showed the ring well...)<\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
..<\/p>\n
Look at this little witch glowing with pride!<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
..<\/p>\n
Lena send me this photo, her daughter won this
\ncontest\u00a0four years ago but she still wears that ring.
\nThe ring my mom took off!<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
..<\/p>\n
This was a story about “long ago and far away…”<\/p>\n
On to today’s stories…
\nweek 36 in my weekly art journal!<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
I love that postcard of the kissing “Zeeuwse” (lady in costume from Zeeland)
\nI had that one lying around for years! I received the (rounded) photo of the
\n“modern Zeeuwse” from my soul-sister Lenny this week.<\/p>\n
Yes, I received happy mail!
\nHappy mail not always contains a lot of supplies you know,
\nhappy mail is also the postcard I received from Lenny.
\n(my friend, my muse, my sister, ma French belle!
\nI wrote about Lenny here<\/a>)
\nA little “Zeeuws” in it, and words that warmed my heart.
\nThat’s the best happy mail there is!
\nThank you so much ma belle, you will hear from me soon!<\/p>\n
..<\/p>\n
Now on to the wicked world of writing, there has some job to be done.
\nI wish you all an enchanting week, see you Friday!<\/p>\n
Je t’embrasse.<\/p>\n
