The children came home from an afternoon at my Mum's house with a painting of flowers and jellybeans. I like it very much. And I think it's inspired a bit of a colour-burst around here today, even though it's grey and overcast outside.

Pictured above: jelly-bean painting, vintage embroidered mats, flowers from Tom's Mum in an old ceramic vase, housewife needlecases with vintage embroidered ribbon, and pencil cases for today's etsy shop update, made from retro NZ fabrics.

Wishing you a bright day…

    The vintage embrooidery is lovely. I enjoy your blog so much because it seems like embroidery is becoming a little underappreciated. I love it, and yours is always so lovely!
