Long time no blog

Dear me - I haven't blogged in ages.
We went to Ally Pally and had a great time - nice to meet Dale
and Ian at last and receive a wonderful Pommie Bag. It's still taking time to digest everything we saw and put away everything we got!

Visit to Newark

Went to the Crafty Notions open day in Newark and had a great day being entertained by Sarah Lawrence.
She says "Guess you don't know how I did these"

Free Postcard

Yesterday I received the wonderful new books"Stitches, Straps and Layers" by Maggie Grey and "Stitching the Textured Surface" by Carol McFee and Linda Monk - they arrived SO quickly too - thanks for that Maggie - such efficiency!
I got this lovely postcard which I'm assuming is one oj Carol's? though it doesn't seem to be identified - anyway thanks! - I'll treasure it and I love the books.

Teapot Day

In response to Dale's Teapot Day - here's my Shelley Teapot and jug - given to my Mum in the '40's - has a look of garlic!

These are a few of my favourite crocs!

Thought I would join in the plate day with Elizabeth - elizabeth-aboutnewyork.blogspot.com and Dale - downunderdale.blogspot.com - with their plate day - what a great idea Elizabeth!- must learn how to just use people's names as links too - how do you do that?

Royal Worcester Vine Harvest

This cake plate and knife were Mum's - love the grapes - and everything about it really!

Spode Italian

Love love love blue plates! This one is such a lovely cobalt blue...
