December in Haifa
Christians, Muslims and Jews- about 270,000 at the moment.
Every December the holidays of thethe three religions are celebrated: Christmas, Hanuka and if there is an Id ( this year there is nothing on) .
Every weekend downtown Haifa is packed with visitors looking for the Holiday spirit. It an occasion of mixing Culture , art, religion and of course food.
you won't find Leebkuchen or straw and wood decoration , but Falafel,Schwarma, red, green, gold, silver and a lot of snowflakes and glitter!
It was a fine dry cold and sunny day today .

A day bed makeover: before and after pictures
I got this day bed and saw the potential behind its country, too sweet image, so the make over is presented to you - I hope its clear enough.
Very recommendable for this kind of craft, is the Güttermann textile glue. It really is an all purpose glue- no sewing needed!
Et voila'! How do you like it now? I do. It looks more grown up now.....

upgrading last scene
you might notice this from my last post- I added more things to the scene: cushions for the couch' candles for my Chanukia ( Menora) and some doughnuts...oh, the flooring has changed as well and another armchair was found, ( leather upholstery)

My Edith Samuel dolls
Following the exhibit in Tel Aviv, I pulled out the dolls I got from my grandfather and photographed them.They are young teens in the pre -Israel state underground "HAGANA" or the pre- army called the "PALMACH".
I loved these dolls all my life. They are 20 cm tall , they wear khacki clothes and knitted caps called "Kova Gerev" ( a sock cap in Hebrew) they wear utility shoes made of leather. they wear messenger bags. They have such a sweet face!
