'A thing of beauty is a joy forever; its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness, but still will keep a bower quiet for us, and a sleep full of sweet dreams, and health and quiet breathing' Keats
I am lucky enough to work from home indulging my passion for vintage & antique textiles, haberdashery & other paraphernalia that I just can't live without. I am partial to chippy paintwork, faded photographs & reading cards & letters that have long ago lost their owners. I realise that I will never make my fortune doing what I love, but the pleasure I get from hand~making something completely unique is reward enough. Working with treasures in the form of textiles, buttons, beads & trims is a privilege and I strive every day to learn more about their past.
Hi Ali Happy Mother's day to yoo too! I'm so glad to be back online and catch up with some blogging again! I so enjoy visiting your blog, it has a wonderful feel to it the minute you open it up. Your heliobores have come out well, mine didn't do too well this year. Have a great weekend Isabelle x
Happy Mother's Day to all! I did not realize that it is celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent in the UK....and shall be happy to celebrate it now and then again in May here in the US. Mothers around the world are so deserving....Have a beautiful day!
How sweet from you to give us flowers. I love the old card very much.....nothing more greater then the love between a mother and her child. Nice sunday
Happy mothers day to you too. In our country and I believe in all of Europe we celebrate mothers day on the second Sunday of May.Thank you for visiting
Thank you so much - I hope you've had a wonderful Mothers' Day too. Here in France we're not celebrating it for over a month, but we still remember our UK family today!
