A Present from my Sister

 Some of you may have noticed this pretty vintage table runner in some of my recent posts. It was a present from my lovely sister who visited a few weeks ago. 

It has the most amazing embroidery.
I really don't know how she managed to part with it!
 It's going to take pride of place on my farmhouse table with a lovely vase full of flowers.






My sister also bought me a pretty hanging heart made from shells and beads,
some 'made with love' ribbon to sew onto my handmade items
and some vintage style tags.
She also surprised me by booking tickets for the two of us to see the Beach Boys in concert at the Royal Albert Hall in September! I've never been to a 'proper' concert before so I'm really looking forward to it.

    The runner is beautiful - people don't realise the amount of work that goes into this sort of thing and how hard to be that neat - I particularly noticed it on your post about the Dahlia Pink Princess - the colours were so right.

    Quite envious about the Beach Boys !!

    Have a good weekend.
