Twenty Thirteen

From Rescued by Rover

 Happy 2013! And merry belated Christmas! The holidays are over and I've just finished nursing myself through a bout of lurgy, which has meant shivering under a blanket watching M R James ghost stories - a very good tonic! While I was sniffing away, I also discovered this flickr site full of wonderful archival photographs and postcards. I wanted to share the one above to start off the new year - Bonne Annee!

A new year also means - finally - some new items for the shop.

Take a look here to see the latest additions. And I've gathered together a new pile that needs photographing so weather allowing - and there are some bright skies forecast! - expect more updates very soon.

Twelve Days of Christmas

I'm back with no shop update and a rising pile of clothes waiting to be photographed... I've been sidelined with various things, including a busy time with my job, but less excusable than that: I've been too wimpy to brave the frost for outdoor photographs! But there will be more up in the shop soon and there are some really nice pieces queueing in my draft listings. In the meantime, I put together a little non-festive festive Etsy treasury list with a drummer drumming, pipers piping, lords-a-leaping, ladies dancing, maids-a-milking, swans-a-swimming, a goose-a-laying, the all important go-o-ld rings (fiiive of them), some colly birds, three French hens, two turtle doves and a partridge minus the pear tree!
