Look what Mr Postman brought for me just the other day:
My Jubilee Swap parcel from the lovely Lucy at 1940's Style For You, as organised by Lakota at Faith Hope and Charity Shopping.
Lucy was so generous - inside were all of these shiny bits of loveliness:
Which revealed a selection of homemade and thrifted items:
A knitted shrug pattern, a copy of Needlewoman and Needlecraft, 2 style patterns, some gummy sweets (quickly scoffed mostly by Mr Needles!), and a corsage, made by Lucy herself.
As well as this, Lucy included a red beret which she knitted, no doubt from a vintage pattern:

As usual, the British summer has proved to be mostly wet (I imagine the Olympic comittee must be praying to Aztec Sun Gods by now...), so the beret has aleady spent a day upon my head, and protected me well from the drizzle:
Hi Nicole,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post, you've been very kind. I'm so pleased you like the items - the beret looks fantastic, who'd have thought you'd need it in July - good old British weather :o)
Best wishes

Great parcel, the beret really suits you, and an amazing corsage too. Thanks for taking part and linking up xx
