Spring is here

Spring's here, sun's out and so are the lovely tie-necks.

As if by magic, the shopkeeper appeared

Walking along the street today I saw a woman with a clothes rail. Right there in the middle of the busy pavement with all the people passing by.

There was a psychedelic A-line shift on the rail, the woman told me she was selling the dress on behalf of her friend in Germany and that the friend had made it for herself. I bought the dress and when I came back along the street she was gone. No sign that she had ever been there.

Great dress though, but not home made at all.

Plants and flowers

For some time now I have been making collages using leftover scraps of vintage fabric. The Autumn Leaves picture (left) I made this afternoon and is part of the plants and flowers series.
