Frippery is a Real Word

I've been asked a few times if Frippery is a real word or did I make it up.

It is a real word
thank goodness
cos I couldn't have come up with a better meaning.

There's been quite a bit of Fripperying going on late at night round here

while some knit or crochet to unwind at the end of the day

you'll find me tucked up at the end of the couch

surrounded by fabric circles, Sew Outside the Lines™ labels & brooch findings

trying to thread a needle

because not only do I find sitting & hand stitching to be relaxing
I am also excited by what I'm achieving

and I've also discovered my Frippery Brooches

go with everything....

 after much debating with myself
discussing the merits of hanging onto absolutely everything I create
with the likely need for therapy to work out why I can't let anything go

I've decided to share the love.
