Seven snaps for seven days - eight


A find of vintage threads; enjoying the label designs and the names of the colours.


Having a very happy time sorting through recent pattern acquisitions.


Cosy night in with my husband, some treats and the long awaited season three of Game of Thrones.


A lovely time having lunch with my sister for her birthday, with my husband and niece enjoying their cuddle time.


Choosing my tea cup ( the rose one at the back) and cake at the start of knitting night. Great fun, and lots of knitting!


Watching The Monuments Men at the cinema, enjoying the film and learning quite a bit.


Arriving at the pub to have lunch with a group of friends after a lovely if drizzly woodland walk. Fabulous rainbow stripes on surprisingly colourful beer kegs.

      Thank you Joanna, I always keep a look out for vintage threads. I love the colour names, it is the same with lipstick, nail varnish and paint colours! It has been a very lovely and enjoyable week, quite a sociable one! Hope you have also had a lovely week.

    What a lovely collection of pictures. I collect those cottong reels and love the names too :-) I love the knitting patterns you have acquired, especially the 1930's cabled P&B one :-)

      Thanks Lucy. I am glad to know that you enjoy the names too, do you have a favourite? One of mine is Turkey Red!

    I love old sewing notions, I saved a few from the bin once but haven't the heart to use them.

      I am very glad to hear that you saved them from the bin! I use some of mine as display pieces if I don't feel up to using them.

    Was Monuments Men good? I want to go and see that - I hope my local cinema still has it on after payday.

    Yum, those chocolate treats look scrumptious! Wasn't Monuments Men fantastic? It was all I could do when the last scene wrapped up and credits began to roll not to leap to my feet and give it a standing ovation.

    ♥ Jessica

      I agree with you Jessica, it was a brilliant film and was something that I knew so little about. I thought the cast were super too. The chocolate treats were rather good! Hope you are having a fun weekend.
