  3. Oh, such wonderful things - my eye was particularly caught by the rainbow of vintage fabrics! I've got three pairs of those pantaloons, as you call them (I'm afraid I call them 'knickers'). Do yours have sewn-up legs or not? I keep wondering if I would ever dare to sew up a pair of mine and wear them as shorts. On the whole, I think not...

  5. What a bunch of wonderful stuff. I love the linen fabric with the red stripe, did you get all that for yourself? It is beautiful.

    Also that little table and chairs is so cute.
