Where have I been that I didn’t know about these lovely fabrics? I also bought the latest copies of Country Living and Gardeners’ World today – something to read whilst we are stuck indoors due to the constant rain.
Lovely stuff!
Bought some delicious supplies at Peyton and Byrne in Heal’s today. Their cakes and teas are lovely! I also bought some lovely vintage-style wooden pegs from Heal’s.
