Hiya
Well its Monday and the sun is shining. It poured down all of yesterday - typical.
Never mind ey, I had an hour to myself on a rainy Sunday afternoon so I sat down with my knitting and a big mug of tea and watched Columbo - lovely
At last I have sorted out and listed on Ebay the lovely vintage candy stripe sheets
I mentioned to Mum in Law how well I had done selling some recently and she said she thought she had some stashed away
Next tme we saw her out comes a big bag full of them (my eyes lit up)
Wide stripes
Narrow stripes with frilly pillowcases
Pink and grey stripes
and pink and white stripes
Along with some odd pillowcases. They have been put away since Mr V was a child, so are truly vintage.
All now washed, line dried and ironed mmm lovely
Have a look if you are interested
Also after my plea for help as to what this Laura Ashley design is called, I was informed it is Paper Doll (which makes sense looking at it!)
So thats there as well
Well All this lovely sunshine is showing up the dust and the kitchen floor looks bad so I better get on.
Happy Valentines day to you - I will be back to show you that when I have taken some photos
