Collecting

I collect all sorts of beautiful things, especially anything to do with sewing, fabrics and haberdashery - these sissors were a present from my brother and the ribbon I bought on one of my trips to India.

In my box of vintage lace and crochet, I have also been keeping these Chinese toothbrushes that I bought years ago in Hong Kong. The problem with my collections is that they are often hidden as it's not practicle to just have everything out.

So I was really pleased to find these glass domes at Brighton Flee Market - I'm currently exhibiting silk stockings and gold trimmed hat pins, the Chinese toothbrushes and a beautiful shell.
