I received the most lovely surprise package in the post this morning from dear Gill at Lucy Locket. Included was this gorgeous piece of vintage fabric.
It's a lovely buttery soft cotton with these rich red chrysanthemum-type flowers scattered all over a warm cream background. The colours are so lively and vibrant even though I would guess the fabric is from the 1950s. I shall be saving this to make something really special.
Then there was a copy (on video, of course) of one of my favourite films - Frankie and Johnny.
I haven't watched this film in years, so I'll really enjoy seeing it again. In the background is the second piece of vintage fabric in the parcel. This is a vibrant apple green wool fabric which will be just the ticket for making something for the autumn / winter.
Finally, included was this lovely card.
The message on the back said 'just a little something to brighten your day'. It did Gill, it certainly did. Thank you so much.
My pleasure Elizabeth! BTW if anyone is interested the card was bought from
