Lets hope one of us spots him about town.<br />Great inherited pieces Patricia and the sewing machine looks identical to the one my mother-in-law used until recently. My husband may know the age of this piece, must ask him.<br />Kate and Camilla look fabulous!<br />xxAnnie ~ Red Roses and Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02054762115763930358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-46955034267974631152012-06-21T15:03:55.287-07:002012-06-21T15:03:55.287-07:00Ah, yes, Colin Firth, English gent and actor, foun...Ah, yes, Colin Firth, English gent and actor, found fame in a wet white shirt in TV series Pride and Prejudice. Many women have not recovered!<br />I would not describe myself as being close to my mother, either Mette, and for a long time I did not want the inherited pieces; but with the passing of the years I have changed my feelings and chose many pieces I could pass on to my own children.

I like your humor.<br />So nice, that you find pleasure of the inherited pieces.<br />I never did, got rid of just about everything. I only have 1-3 pieces, small items. <br />Needless to repeat, I was not close to my mother, nor was she close to me.mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-56240065710452289642012-06-21T05:52:32.635-07:002012-06-21T05:52:32.635-07:00orange jug is perfection!orange jug is perfection!Faux Fuchsiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17317677066408030053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-63227005213133977222012-06-20T03:57:53.198-07:002012-06-20T03:57:53.198-07:00You know, Mum was a supermum, before that name was...You know, Mum was a supermum, before that name was even thought of! She did many things really well, and lived to a ripe old age. She still made clothes for herself and also made lace, well into her eighties. No wonder she raised six such independent and individual children! xxPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-11386880614195650842012-06-20T03:15:33.870-07:002012-06-20T03:15:33.870-07:00Your mother sounds like a real supermum, organizin...Your mother sounds like a real supermum, organizing her children , collecting gorgeous pieces, travelling a lot and picking a great husband !xxThe Silver Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05349086912610874215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-44096344804775484432012-06-19T23:49:38.017-07:002012-06-19T23:49:38.017-07:00tee hee A, well, I haven't actually found out ...tee hee A, well, I haven't actually found out if the machine works, but I'll just nip up the road and ask Colin to check it out for me anyway!<br />Yes, we six were always a team, and it was never dull at our place; when we all come togther it is always noisy and fun!<br />xxxPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-640641573553794762012-06-19T23:09:39.597-07:002012-06-19T23:09:39.597-07:00What a lovely post!

Jealous of your treadmill machine I love the click clack sound they make - is it in working order? If it needs some attention, I understand Colin is handy with a screwdriver...
