The Holland's on tour


Any chance, said I, of having our ugly garage door transformed into this 


After not getting a very satisfactory reply I went off to admire my recent collection of vintage handkerchiefs 


And to pack my bag ready for a week at the caravan 


There's a coastal train ride from Barrow In Furness to Carlisle involved with an overnight stay and a visit to Tullie gallery to see the work of Cumbrian artist Percy Kelly, famous for his painted letters and envelopes

There'll be lots of reading and stitching done during the week as well as visiting friends, Art On The Prom in Grange Over Sands on Sunday and a drive to Coniston to a vintage shop set up in a village hall.  No doubt we will be diving in a few charity shops as well.


First up though is a visit to Pendle Heritage Centre to Selvedge Makers event.  More about that later I've got a bag to pack first.

  1. C'mon Phil, get those paints out! That garage door is brilliant, isn't it?
    What on earth are you going to pack for your trip away? It's 20 degree here today - hooray! My washing's dry already.
    Have a fabulous time. xxx

  2. Alas we no longer have a garage let alone a door but I do think that one is rather lovely as are your vintage hankies. You find some lovely things on your travels Lynn. Hope you have a lovely week.
    Hugs,

  3. Those vintage hankies are divine! Not an easy time of year to pack for a holiday, but I'm sure you'll find anything you've forgotten at a local chazza! Have a great week! xxx
