August 23rd Introducing Miss Saigon

This week I received this very special gift, which came to me all the way from Vietnam. Yes Miss Saigon was gently coerced into leaving her home country Vietnam,  and to come to NZ on a permanent basis, courtesy of Daniel and Briar's thoughtfulness

Admittedly she won't get outside much, but instead of sitting on a shelf all alone, here she will be treasured and enjoy the company of many others of her kind.

Isn't she gorgeous? That is wonderful embroidery detailing on her back.This is a gift I will always treasure, and remember the origin of.
