I can be at home one minute with me pinny on and the next getting ready for a trip out
On a whim we decided to head off to our caravan in the Lake District for the weekend. First stop is always two charity shops at Milnthorpe on the way there.
I certainly didn't need another quilt but I couldn't leave this beauty behind. It's handmade and was priced at £12. How ridiculous, do people not realise how much work goes into the making of them. It's on the bed in the caravan now.
The two botanical books cost a total price of £1.50, they are dated 1974 and the inscription inside this one is
"To Mummy Margaret on her birthday June 6th 1974. From Rachel with much love"
I hope Mummy Margaret would be pleased to know that I'm using it in my new Autumn project from
I picked up this pure wool blanket for £6 to use on Textile projects. That is unless I decide to hunker down underneath it with a good book once the winter draws in

ReplyDeleteI bet Mummy Margaret would be thrilled to know that that lovely book has gone to a good home.
Love the pinnies!
have a fab time in the caravan! xxx
Aw, great score on the quilt, and a wonderful rescue! MY Uncle was part of the publishing and editorial team for the spotters books, nice to see them about still!! Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time at the caravan! I could really do with either your quilt or your blanket, as it's quite chilly here. I always find the dedication in second hand books rather poignant. I'm sure Margaret would be happy for you to have them. xxx
