Secours Catholique - Two Charity Shops!

Yesterday was a busy day with work, but before I became completely incoherent, I managed to vist two charity shops, which seemed to be specialising in cushions! 1 euro 50 per small cushion, including these swans... There was also a sweet set of little plates, marked 'Royal Albert - Paris'; Paris seemed a strange location...

Someone has done a bit of recup' here, a good while ago.

Two great pieces of crochet have been stitched onto two, rather different, blue cushions. I may need to tidy them up a bit, but I like them!

Always worth picking up a bit of crochet...

Especially if it will look good on a somewhat battered cushion!

Crochet doilies seemed readily available - I think that something along the lines of dottie angel's banner tutorial could be produced from these!

So I moved from training for university lessons to buying doilies, to teaching 6-year old twins, to taking lessons for 12 and then 14 year olds! Shortly after that I lost the power of coherent speech - it could surely happen to anyone.

Thanks for your very kind comments, and I hope that many of you are enjoying your ginger bickies (which probably are indeed good for dunking, Jus)!
