Another Treat!

I have just been treated to the above book (thanks to my lovely husband!) which was recommended in an embroidery magazine I happened to be looking at. Apparently, it looks at textiles, costume, fashion and social history including portraits and letters. It has rave reviews on Amazon as well so I am really looking forward to receiving it!
On a completely different note, next week sees the beginning of the garden visiting season for me as I am visiting Hodsock Priory (near Blyth in Notts)(http://www.snowdrops.co.uk/) to look at the snowdrops for which they are famous. I have been there many times, but there is always something new to look at and it is a great day out. Hopefully, photos to follow...
