Baby Cardigans and Vintage Sewing Machine

Two baby cardigans I knitted late last year. I've not done any knitting for years so I was quite pleased with the outcome. And they fit him [my grandson] .......but not for long I think.

My daughter found a vintage Singer sewing machine in a cupboard. We thought it was a table at first, the machine was tucked under and folds out. It is VERY heavy.

Duck Postcard Art

The image of the duck was from the Naturalists Library Book

Golden Oriole Postcard

The vintage bird is an image from the Naturalist Library Book the text and stamps from a vintage postcard and the background is one of my screen print patterns. 

Vintage Buttons

I actually bought these vintage buttons last March in Hastings but it is the first time I have had a good look at them. Makes me wonder what type of clothing they were on and who wore them.

Even more of Beamish

The pictures above were taken in the open store, a behind the scenes collection [not open all the time]

The desk was in the farm house

The wash buckets were in one of the shops in the town

This is a 'new' building - St. Helen's church, a medieval building rescued from demolition at Eston and re built here. Read more here. All the bricks were numbered so they would know where to put them back together.

More of Beamish

I love drawers so there are a number of photos of them. The drawers above were in the garage, most people were looking at the cars and things related to cars, while all I was interested in was the drawers. There was another set next to these but I couldn't get a good shot.

There was a new [to me] 'open store' with an array of objects

more tomorrow

Beamish

Last week I didn't post much as I had visitors and one of the places we visited was Beamish - the living Museum of the North. I have been many times before as it's not far away, and I have lots of photos and now I have even more. They will be the last ones from this camera though as it broke while I was there. More to follow tomorrow - click on the images to enlarge.
