JaM - taking Just a Moment to gather
& share the things you have noticed, consumed, created &/or
bought during your week....
It's been a mixed bag this week
as I REfind my feet
and REgain some normality
and now that the dust has settled after the trip to 'you know where'
I've REconciled that I need to holiday more often.....
I also thought I'd make another one of these
on this wet-you-can-feel-Spring-in-the-air Sunday
because who'd have thought it
with 15 of them hanging in my wardrobe
I don't have one this pink & red!
Workshops are back in full swing
as is Alex with her ability to get snaps I'd not think of
 |
| Charles creating his Dressing Gown |
Being back on familiar Op Shop stomping ground
has also helped shake off holiday withdrawals....
 |
| a Doily Press |
 |
| vintage Granny Square Coverlet |
and after a week spent in the company of a childrens book illustrator
I have a new found appreciation for old books
and their illustrations.
 |
| it's a First Edition Reb! |
This quite literally has been
the longest birthday in the history of my birthdays
[ I'm NOT complaining]
Alex presented me with this book on Friday
a little late for the last trip
but in plenty of time for the next!
I love the images on this post - well taken!
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see your skirt when it's finished :) happy smiley colours!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fabrics for the skirt, amazing op shop finds as usual and that book will come in very handy next time you visit Melbourne. Love seeing the photos of Charles creating. x
ReplyDeleteI agree you definitely need a red and pink one....say hi to the gals for me and I hope they are sewing up a storm. xx
ReplyDeleteYour skirt is going to look Fab and just in time for Spring........and your new Melb shoes will match beautifully!
ReplyDeleteHi Jody and my Friday besties, I miss you all but have been following your blog Jody so I sort of feel like I'm there. Love your posts and love you gals x
ReplyDeleteA fabulous mixed bag at that Jody. That skirt fabric gorgeous and the green will set the pink and red off so well I think. I want one! lol.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a doiley press and that one is particularly lovely.
Great book for finding Melbourne's artisans, and I'll just bet there are a whole lot more than 200 down there!
Have left my url in the linky link thing! ♥
Love the colors for your new skirt, I have a doily press very similar to yours, except mine is a lot more worn, I found it in a box of stuff at the farm (stored from my grandmothers farm, from who knows when!)
