Liberty bling

Meet up with dear daughter to collect the prezzies she brought me from the motherland, us being British nationalists and all.  


Just the bag made me squeal!  And what was inside??


delicate pastel-ish prints as only Liberty can do.   definitely a new project in my future...think i will call it ' liberty spring'.  And what else?....


a yummy biscuit tin filled with that classic shortbread...


royal orange marmalade....in case paddington comes for tea......


a lovely reusable bag.....


The scary layover in lisbon will always be remembered....such a pretty magnet.  all these are lovely but having her home safe and sound?  priceless...oh, and the lady on the plane to Lisbon who facilitated information for her?  name was Angelique...no surprise there!

No real sewing this week with continuing family stuff taking precedence...but off to maine in a few and plenty of handwork on board.  i hear there is a 3-day storm brewing with more of that very impermanent spring snow...cuddle-duds on!

  1. What beautiful and thoughtful gifts. The Liberty fabrics are so pretty. No one else does them as well. I’m sure there will be some fabric stroking while settle on a pattern to make with them.
