 I bought this old postcard last week.   I think it's hilarious...
a different 'eye pose' everytime.
Just wondered which one you like best?
As for Mr. Wolf there, not only is he rather menacing, but I think a little too salacious for comfort.

Dennis Severs House - London UK

 A wonderful, wonderful weekend in London.
We were able to spend time with our girl, who lives and works there.
We went Mudlarking on the Thames foreshore...the sky was blue...
until the evening when we watched forks of lightening light up London skyline

Found by the current husband.   
I found a marble!!!  




Taking the moment in.

 Onto Dennis Severs' House in Spitalfields.
Sharp contract of buildings.
 Waiting to go inside and it absolutely persisted it down.

 Worth the wait in the rain though.   I will never forget our visit to this House.

Hello,
thank you for your comments on yesterday's post.
With regard to the Dog Brooch...
Flamin' Nora asked what the dog's name was.
 Sharon Young's comment with regard to 'Monsieur Bob', inspired me to call 
this particular dog design 'Bob the dog'.   Catchy eh?
I will be making more of those particular brooches soon.

Another kind of dog makes another appearance on a Brooch.

 I was very lucky today to receive a gift out of the blue, from Christine of gentlework
A beautiful brooch made for me.   Christine said that she had found the Dog in a button box, so made a brooch home for him to live on.
Made my day to receive such a lovely gift.

I am having a little break away from blogging over the next few days, as the current husband and I are off to London town.   
There are a couple of things I want to do...
Hoping to go Mudlarking on the Thames foreshore, when the tide is out, of course :)   Here is a brilliant Mudlarker  Blog , which you may already know about.   So I wonder what we will find?  
I also want to visit Dennis Servers' House, looks like an incredible experience.   
Not sure if either of these will happen, but just looking forward to a couple of days in London.  
See you on the other side.  Have a great weekend.

Hello


Screen printed A6 notebooks
and should I sell something from my Etsy shop,
this is the packaging the pieces are sent out in.
I liked how they looked all neatly lined up, when I had finished stitching them.
