So I had a comment from Anne, and I replied, then she replied, then I sent her a small gift, and then the postman brought this…
Inside, a parcel wrapped in blue tissue and a pretty card – I love the crochet cord and floral embellishment!
Inside the tissue, a fabulously retro coloured doyley
Now it is the centrepiece under my bowl of plums and nectarines
Thanks, Anne – it is gorgeous!! [I pinned the crochet flower on my dress this morning, and got some lovely compliments from friends at the Coffee Drop In] The amber glass bowl cost £1 in the Age UK shop.
I will learn to crochet circles. Still stuck on Granny Squares [Mags, I’ll be coming to Belfast in August for another Hookers’ Tutorial!!]
So glad you liked it and that you put the little flower to good use. (It's dead easy to go round in circles - I do it all the time!) You're very welcome, Angela. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a very pretty gift to receive.
ReplyDeleteVERY pretty! I want to go to Belfast, too!
ReplyDeleteCome!
DeleteIt's perfect under your lovely fruit bowl.
ReplyDeleteP.S. In response to Nana's comment above, I must append a favourite Austen quote:
"The Miss Beauforts were soon satisfied with ‘the Circle in which they moved in Sanditon,’ to use a proper phrase, for every body must now ‘move in a Circle,’ to the prevalence of which rotatory Motion, is perhaps to be attributed the Giddiness and false steps of many."
(from Sanditon)

What a lovely surprise gift - I do like a nice bit of crochet.
ReplyDeleteThank you for dropping in - I too have a fondness for the Archers (is it a childhood thing - I have listened to it all my life). When I lived in London I used to go the home of Hugh Dickson for dinner - he played Guy Pemberton (if you go that far back!). I have just spent five minutes looking him up on Google after all these years.
Small claim to fame is that I have got 'Jack Woolley's autograph!
Thank you again
Best wishes
Jenny
