Yesterday I got to the shops after a week or 2 of trying. Lucy came with me and we had a lovely time though it was very cold and she doesn't like charity shops! But..look what I found. I collect (amongst other things) old sewing notions, buttons and the like. These vintage needle packets will go with my others and the buttons look wonderful propped up on my bookshelf.
Isn't the detail on the packaging beautiful?
I was really pleased with these. Sometimes I can go weeks without finding something good.
This afternoon whilst the sun was shining I took some pictures of Lucy. She finds it hard not to blink and over the last few months it has been impossible to take a picture of her with her eyes open! But HURRAH we managed to get some photos to send to NZ for the family. Everyone here has still got the flu in various stages. It is Anth's turn now and I am just hoping that I will escape.
The bedside table is now drying and I am going to make a new shade..what I mean is cover the existing one. I am thinking of painting the lamp base - has anyone else done that? So just a little longer before I take the 'after' picture!
