On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me

A beautiful French woolwork panel: The Lion & the Mouse

I really like the expression on this lion's face, he seems quite friendly so I think it probably depicts a scene from the fable (I can't remember its name) where the mouse has helped the lion and vice versa. It is mostly worked in gros point in wool, with the lion and mouse worked in petit point. It is worked on stiff linen canvas and has had metal clips with loops attached for hanging.

Patchwork packs of antique florals and toile & metal trims for a vintage fair

I had a lot of fun today - well, it was work really - sorting out small patchwork packs made from 19th century fabric scraps and 2m lengths of metal trims for a vintage fair my sister and I are doing the weekend after next. I love my job!

I will also be selling plenty of vintage clothes including some vintage furs, lingerie, top hats and more, photos should appear here soon when I find time...
