I managed to send you a message, not sur e how I did it though so am typing this message to see if I can remember for next time, I spend hours looking at your pictures I just LOVE all things vintage and have hundreds of things that I am saving for when I too get my little shop[in my dreams!!!] my husband William is VERY patient, I taught him to swim the vintage way so he wouldn't drown amongst all my things!!!Can't wait to see more of your photos, I will really try to set up a page thingy of my own then I could photograph all my lovely things to show you. It all started with a purse that I purchased from you and it was such a delightful thing and packaged so well and things just got better from there when I discovered flickr and all your FAB. photo's.Anyway I'd better close here before this missive turns into a novelette!!

I have that same fabric and I am going to use it to make curtains for our family room, which is so blah! My hubby is painting the walls white and I am sewing and thrifting to re-do this room and make it happy, cheerful and colorful! I love your jug and bowl! The breakfast tray looks fabulous! The little dotty quilt is so sweet! Your scarves are wonderful and your breakfast looks delicious! Good idea to wear something spotty for teaching at the hospital! They never have enough color and sick people need cheering up! I love what you said about Pinterest! It is wonderful you can have a good sense of humor about it all! I hope your day is lovely and spotty dotty! xo~PaulaPaulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09955769851619781088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532409850252086723.post-59404757007061606522012-04-17T09:39:56.036+01:002012-04-17T09:39:56.036+01:00Love, love, love spottiness!

It's just I have looked for more items in this design and have never found any, and just wondered if I was sitting on a rare treasure? I love it though, so probably wouldn't part with it anyway!
