One Year Old!....

This month my little  blog is officially 1 year old!

  I wanted to say a huge thank you to all of you who

 come back week after week and especially to my readers and friends

 who take the time to leave such lovely comments

 when there are millions of other blogs out there.

 I really do appreciate it.

 Thanks a million to the very lovely Margerita of Chocolate Creative and

 the star-in-the-making, Igor of Happy Interior blog,

 who both featured me on their blogs during the past year.

 I was hugely honored and thrilled to be asked-

thank you SO much to both of you-I owe you!

And lastly, thank you to the generations past

 who have provided the wonderful everyday items that have inspired

 so many of my posts, not least today's pictures.

 My Mum regularly helps drive old people

 from her town to the Doctors or the shops and as a thank you,

 one of the ladies left her sewing box from 1886 to her.

 It wasn't until last weekend that I realized

 anything was in there. It's very special-come and see.

 I'd love to know what you think! 

Thank you so much for sticking with me

 and I hope you continue to

 enjoy my little every day shots for the next year to come... x

Tatting is handmade knotted lace traditionally used as decorative collars in the 1800s.

Second from left is a ribbon threader, then a crochet hook,

 but if anyone knows what the other pieces are, I'd love to know!
