Hi Dear Folk,
I have found a wonderful haul from the thrift shop. Three pairs of what seem to be brand new leather shoes. The lace ups are Italian and fit like a glove. The flat cream ones have genuine snakskin with the leather and the third pair are a differnet colour to the rather solid basic colours that I usually choose for shoes. I will be well shod from spring into summer.
Wearing my blue cardigan, another thrift find, It's so warm you can wear it like a jacket.
Japanese crochet flowers ready to sew into a shawl.
My dear posy was fun to make and makes me happy to wear, and seems to us-sure in the spring.
The orchids eventually bloomed and showed their brave little faces.
I started this necklace several months ago and finished the one side, when I went back to finish the other side it was amazing how I forgot what I did, especially with the wire wrapping, not a good thing to do, I should have finished it off all in one go.
I took some volcanic stones off the Black Beach in Hawaii, some smaller ones and the larger one is an interesting combination of white and black. I had an idea of wire wrapping them, this is my first go at wire wrapping. The other beads I already had, they are quartz I like their translucence.
It's quite a long necklace so hope to wear it with a shift dress in the summertime. Taking something of the beach and making it into ones own creation is rewarding.
Well better shake a leg I'm meant to be at a get together in an hour, kind of an Art and Tea do, not quite sure what to expect.
Hope your weekend is good.
