When sorting through a box of fabric flower making stuff* I got from Nana, I found this treasure: it’s sterling silver with diamantes. I’m not sure where it came from – stuff has ended up all over the place during various moves, so it might not have been Nana Miller’s at all.
Lily of the Valley brooch
Isn’t it pretty? It needs a good clean, though – one of the stems is wobbly, and the silver is very tarnished. I’m off to get a quote from a local jeweller to see what can be done.
Can’t you just see this pinned to a plain (vintage!) dress or (vintage, to die for!) hat?
Anyway, that’s a job for tomorrow. We used up too much bandwidth this month and so our internet is cut back to dial up speed ’til the new month. PAINFUL!!
So tomorrow I’ll try and mostly sew, I think. Hmmm.
I went to Quilters today – first time in ages, since I was so sick before the surgery that I wasn’t going much of anywhere – and THEY DIDN’T RECOGNISE ME!! It was hilarious watching people whisper “Who’s that?” to each other.
Last time they saw me I:
- looked really ILL
- had long hair
- had different glasses
- wore no makeup
- only dressed in jeans and t-shirts!
And today I went in the new frock with cute shoes, a little bit of face on, and my short short haircut – and, if I do say so myself, looking better than I’ve done in YEARS.
Quite the difference.
And now it’s past my bedtime again – catchya tomorrow!
*yeah, more on that later – I need to figure out how to get a spirit lamp (?) that burns without making soot, I think?

The lady sitting beside me at quilting said “is that Caity?” I said yes. She repeated “is that Caity” I said “YES, that is Caity”? I don’t think she believed me the first time!! Funny…..
