I will have to look for the magazine! I love your notebook too! So many sweet details and a fabulous idea to record all those things in! Your vignettes are beautiful! What a treasure those old letters are! So glad you have them to enjoy. I love history and things from a past time speak to my heart. The pincushion and vintage tin are so sweet! Love the cheerful crochet colors and your blanket is gorgeous! I am so happy you live near the sea and can see it from your home! That is a blessing. We live on a bayou that is right behind our back garden and my husband's work shop. We have a little johnny boat and it takes about 5 minuets to get on to the lake. It is very peaceful and beautiful. I would love to live near the sea too! I hope you enjoy the rest of your week and your lovely projects!
