Waking up the morning after Storm Eunice I looked out
across the valley to be met with a snow storm.
Not a sheep in sight or a blade of grass, only the tops of the
trees showed any signs of colour and they were rapidly
becoming white.
This sign tickled me. My sister who lives in Oxford
and is a true northern lass, quotes it to her fellow workers.
As it was obviously going to be a stay at home day
I settled into my craft room and made a bag for a special
book I received this week.
Books that I treasure all have their own little fabric bag,
mostly made with pieces of vintage material.
This image came up the other day for the clothing company
Toast.
I have a few pieces myself.
My thoughts were of how fabulous that they had used an older model.
Hopefully it shows that you don’t need to be young to be stylish.
Their colour descriptions appeal to me as well.
The outfit below is listed as
SAFFRON & NASTURTIUM
We watched an online talk in the evening by
Great British Pottery Throwdown host Keith Brymer Jones.
It was really good, he’s such a sensitive soul and
enormously talented. I’ve got his book on order as well, so
plenty to look forward to while the weather does it’s worst.
Stay safe and warm
Lynn

enjoyed your post
ReplyDeletelove the weather joke, I live in Ohio, but from Michigan originally-masses of snow there
loved the bag idea for your favorite books, I wouldn't know where to begin, not making the bag, but which one's to choose!!
Loving the weather joke, Lynn :-) Waking up to a snowy valley must be magical, and it certainly beats waking up to all-day rain, which is what was in Eunice's wake for us. The book bag for your new treasure is gorgeous, and who needs Toast if you've got it all in your wardrobe for a fraction of the price? xxx
ReplyDeleteI watched Pottery Throw Down last night and it was a proper sob-fest. But with good reason - so full of emotion and love - brilliant!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Loving the weather meme, I think it might include us Midlanders, too!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful was Christine's self-sculpture. Wouldn't that be a wonderful gift for a breast cancer survivor?
You're a fine model for Toast, their clothes are gorgeous and I love the ethos behind the company. xxx
