Happy Saturday .. .. and happy Bank Holiday weekend. I hope that it is a good one for everyone.
A little share today featuring a cute little stamp I gained from Ebay this week. Can't believe it has taken me so long to realise how many lovely crafty bargains can be had from there!
This used:
Image: Stampin Bella "Claudia has a Candy"
Sentiment: Pink Petticoat (sadly no longer trading)
Backing Papers: TinkerNcodigital "English Garden"
Die-Namics Die Set: "Blueprints 14"
Josy Rose: Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust
Diamond Stickles
Ribbon from my crafty stash box
The mention of yesterday's "liberty bodice" sparked off some great conversations .. .. and memories for lots of folk. I loved reading those .. .. thanks for sharing them.
In the afternoon I went to spend time with my Mum and she asked me what I had been doing and I told her about my blog post and everyone's comments and she really enjoyed hearing them all .. .. and it sparked off lots of memories for her. She then began telling me about other things she could remember as a child (but don't worry, I won't go into all of those!).
Mum was connected to the internet earlier this year as she wanted to download more games to play on her tablet and to join Facebook so she could see what her many Grandchildren were up to (not bad at nearly 86 - even I don't do Facebook!!). So we then ended up searching for all the things she could remember which then sparked off even more memories for her. I think she really enjoyed reminiscing .. . and I certainly enjoyed listening.
Who would have thought all that would have come out of encountering a rubber button whilst ironing!! LOL!!
Anyway, time to get ready for today's "happy couple" now .. .. but I will hopefully catch you again tomorrow.
Have a good day!
Love
