The talk went well,
there was no need to freak out.
Thanks to modern technology,
Powerpoint makes it so easy.

Afternoon tea was served
featuring asparagus wrapped in devon.
It was a nostalgic moment.
There is something about tea brewed
in those giant pots that make it taste like mothers.
I swear. Home made cake and
gallons of tea had me restored and ready for the 60 k trip home.
So many things to prepare for -
three markets and a new shop opening
that wants some cute things.
The guardian angels have reappeared,
wearing a beautiful hand linen tablecloth for a dress.
Their wings are very old patchwork quilts,
some so fragile they needed mending before I could use them.
They have not made it to etsy yet,
I have been lazy - but if you want one, just message me.
Mention the bloggy and it's free postage.
How delightful to discover this quote
by a long time favourite author and mystic, Dion Fortune.
She captures the essence of hand made:
Yes it's a mish mash catchup post..
Now back to the studio to wallow in mounds of pre loved fabric
some more.

love it all.....not sure about the asparagus wrapped in devon though!
ReplyDeletebeautiful - you seem wholly inspired since you came home from Europe.
ReplyDeletelove that quote by Dion Fortune. I have never had devon and asparagus.
ReplyDeleteReminiscing....asparagus wrapped in devon, brewed pots of tea .... memories of the CWA at the local agricultural shows. Glad all went well (I had not doubt it would. You would have been a breath of fresh air to the 'knitters'.
ReplyDeleteYour guardian angels are gorgeous! Have they all been sold yet (need a bit of 'watching over' at the moment).
Swoon when I see your piles of pre-loved fabric.....
