Treasure



I dug this up in the garden.
Isn't it sweet?
Measuring just 6cm in diameter,
probably a little souvenir pin tray from the 1950s.
It is so Parisian,
and such a charming thing to find when one is being
scratched by brambles and stung by nettles.

  1. Lucille, what a buried treasure you have found! Worth those brambles, perhaps.

    I also wanted to let you know that I admire your clever reaction to the post-label-removal situation. The sweater looks grand!

    And finally, I am just about all recovered now, and yes, I did give the St Patrick's Day parade a miss...amongst other reasons, the weather was freezing. xo

  5. I think that part of the garden is an old rubbish dump. We turn up lots of old bottles and broken china there. Perhaps someone was Kondoing!

    1. In Porterville we found a very old 'German Empire' medicine bottle, and then we found the glass stopper to fit!
