I used to love looking through my Nan's button tins and always loved it when we were allowed to play with the sequins at primary school. My children are the same, why is it we are like magpies around small tins of beads, bags of wool and scraps of fabric? There is something magical about the colours, textures and feel of haberdashery items that makes me covet them like treasure, which of course they are! I hope you have a fantastic week whatever you are up to.

I am a TOTAL magpie. I have tins and boxes and jars full of shiny things I will probably NEVER use. It must be a condition! Magpie-itis
ReplyDeleteI'm the same, I have jars and tins of odd and ends that I can't bring myself to throw away. I noticed your pics of Rochford, that not far from where I live! X
DeleteSome lovely images Lou, I am so a magpie too which is hard with a toddling little one wanting to take boxes of threads off and play with them!
