At Last....A Web Update!!

I have updated my website today with over 60 new items - I hope that you will enjoy taking a look. It is my aim to make lots more handmade items soon, but 'real' life has been getting in the way of this lately. I also have some pretty vintage eiderdowns that I hope to list soon, when I have time to photograph them and type write-ups......

This selection of unique handmade brooch pillows and boudoir bags can be found in my on-line catalogue. Sorry, all sold or reserved, but lots of vintage stock in 'textiles' and 'costume'.

I've recently been lucky enough to catch-up with an old family friend from my childhood. We lost contact years ago when we moved to opposite sides of the country, but now, thanks to the www, we are back in touch.

Here we are as mere babes in 1969 (I think) - that's me on the right with the white top and Teena is sat next to me.

....And a few years later (in the 70's!!! as if you couldn't guess from that wild wallpaper - Mum what were you thinking?! Lol) me, far left in purple and Teena, also in purple, third from the right. (Our brothers are standing at the back - mine on the left (blending into that wallpaper!) and Teena's on the right lifting up my cousin)

Awwww...time flies! (I have a few more photos, but that's enough embarrassment for one day!)

Teena recently sent me a parcel through the post, which was a complete surprise. All this loveliness......

The funny thing is, we both recycle vintage fabrics and sell on the www - such a coincidence!! Teena has recently started blogging too, so please take a peek at her sites when you have a moment - they are so cheerful and fun.
T makes these adorable little puppy dogs and I am so lucky to own one -this little girl was in my parcel and she immediately made herself at home.....

First she wandered into the garden to be in the sunshine and to explore the foxgloves.....

and then to sniff the rambling roses.....

and delicious honeysuckle.....

She met some of the other members of the family....

...before finding a snugly spot to take a nap!

Thanks again Teena for your kindness - I look forward to meeting up with you when I stay at my parents home next time.....

I would also just like to say that my daughter really loved reading all the comments that you left regarding her Art Foundation piece below. BIG thank you for your kind wishes.

Enjoy the rest of your week,
