(Human) Pin Cushion

I just couldn’t resist the allure of this capacious wicker basket this morning while I paid a visit to the village for a blood test appointment ( 3 attempts; I feel like a human pin cushion) …

.not sure how I can hide it before the man of the house returns….I will try and avert his gaze with custard.

Anyway it wasn’t just wicker that took my eye – another Persephone for my collection…and how could I leave the embroidered linen tray cloth when such subtle colours had been used?


All this treasure and I got to enjoy a large cappuccino with Baby mother while we watched the world go by in this glorious weather.

    Thanks to you, I've just discovered Persephone Books -- aren't they, and the publishers, wonderful! Thanks so much for that.

    Enough goodies to counteract the needles, I hope! I love baskets, too.

    One item for each hole in your arm, that seems fair. And if I had to choose one I'd take the basket.
