This morning I went to visit Bel, I had given her a piece of calligraphy I had done last time I saw her and today she gave me a most beautiful paper weight which contained a piece of her exquisite lace making.
It has been a miserable day weather wise raining on and off all day. I went to the shop when I left Bel and have remained in for the rest of the day. Watched some Olympics and have done quite a lot of sorting of drawers, and going through piles of papers and magazines. Good job we have two recycling bins!
When I was sorting I found this doorstop, I don’t think I took a photo of it when we got it, and I cannot remember where it came from. Very cute though!
The shopping was delivered this evening and just relaxing now, although I did do half an hours pedalling earlier.
May try to get out for a bit tomorrow.
What a nice collection of gifts. The paper sounds interesting. I’ll be curious to see how you finally use it.
ReplyDeleteDid Bel make the lace that went into the paperweight. It’s very nice. You can use it to hold down your hand pressed paper 😊
It’s not been a wonderful day here either, but we did have a couple of sunny spells in between the rain. A perfect day for sorting, and we always have sorting to do! The doorstop was a good find. I do remember seeing a pic of it when you got it. Maybe it was a car boot bargain.
Relaxing sounds good. Going to do a little bit myself before I head for bed. Seems to have been a long day.
I plan to get out for a little while in the morning, but whether it’ll come to fruition is another matter!
Bel did make the lace, and ai think she commented on the fairy garden last time she was here so it seemed appropriate.
ReplyDeleteThere is quite a lot of the hand pressed paper, not large pieces as perfect for doing some detailed.
