One of my all-time favorite dresses is a sheet I bought for my first double bed. It is sentimental AND pretty. I enjoyed your thimble post photos, too.

Scents are mysterious - I remember when the Queen Anne's Lace along my walking path were (in the hot sun) smelling unmistakably like corn tortillas fresh off the griddle.

...I like sardines! Fresh or tinned, both are good.<br />A whole year since the death of Mr Kibble and the Orphan's arrival! I can't keep track of time this year.<br />I have always been told that Gorse smells of coconut. I don't have a good sense of smell so I can't tell you if it smells of peaches or coconut!<br />Enjoy your sewing!clare.elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08246678101002977575noreply@blogger.com
