.....a friend indeed......

..you know when somebody really knows you when....

.....they give you the perfect gift....

....for who else would know that a 

sad-eyed, one-armed naked dolly would make my heart skip a beat?

...or that this beautiful old tin

was just the thing i was needing?

....or just HOW much i love 

homespun dishcloths?

.....so thank-you

 miss daisy

you are a special friend indeed

...sunshine on a rainy day.....

...in an attempt to beat those january blues....

...i felt the need to invest in this amazing tin this morning.....

...i thought these sunny images of bygone butlin's holidays....

..and retro bathing beauties by the pool...

...might be just the ticket to banish thoughts of impending frosts and snow flurries?

...i know it's time to be thrifty but i did it for all our sakes.....

(oh and the new/sale ck tablecloth for the same reasons....

...please don't tell....nobody seems to have noticed!)
