Three pleasing things, for today:
+ + + This collection of old threads — cream, grey and perle cotton — given to me by my Mum's oldest friend. They used to belong to her mother (a very skilled craftsperson), but she's in a rest home and can't use them any more. I hope to do them justice..
+ + + A pincushion made from old linen scraps. This one features (what I like to think are) clematis flowers.
+ + + A bowl of cherries. I took this photo last month, and now cherries are finished for the year. So good while they lasted though, sweet and sour, glossy and soft.
+ + + And the fourth pleasing thing is this poem, Delphiniums in a Window Box, by Dean Young.
