I am off to visit my parents for a few days. They live in Norfolk, so a bit of a trek, but it will be good to see them. I like to take my Mum a few gifts, to show she is appreciated! I have made her one of my postcard decorated handbags, using vintage fabrics. I buy china hatpin holders whenever I see them at carboot sales, as she likes to collect these to display her old hatpins in. (I recently managed to find three!) The blue fabric is a tablecloth decorated with chickens- she keeps hens like me!!- so thought this would be fun.
Speak to you all soon, on my return- have a great week, love Niki.xx
I'm actually visiting my mum,too in Indiana...have a great time and soak up all those memories.
