Vintage Vogue
(A Happy Gift)
And a gift from Susan
(My now favourite Friday knit cafe member)
She saw it on a trip to UK and thought of me, made my day.
I just Love them.
The pictures,
the smell,
the adverts,
the feel,
and the classic patterns,
that haven't really changed at all in years since 1st published.

Cake stand yarn
I may have posted this picture once before, I have few vintage books in my collection.
This concept is widely used today, yarn on a cake stand.
For me this is also something that when I eventually get my vintage cake stand and yes I know a cake stand..........
The thing is I can just never commit, I like the funky modern, yet I love the traditional antique china type (traditionally used for afternoon tea).
decisions, decisions and the funny thing I'm not really a cake baker, so it would be entirely for my yarns a shelf storage if you like, for the ones that I favour most at the time;-)
