collections....

My Dad collects things.

All sorts of things.

On my last visit home I took a few snaps of a couple of the collections that were on display around the house....

Crystals... (this one is a beautiful Quartz that he found when he worked in a Tin mine in Cornwall when he was a young man - my sister and I coveted this as kids).

Books and Crystals....

Books....

More books....

and Maps.

my beautiful flowers....

From my wonderful, beautiful, amazing, brilliant, fantastic sister who made my day by sending me these to cheer me up :)

My labels....

After a VERY quiet week away in Ireland and then a rather nasty shock when we got home (my parents house caught on fire whilst we were away!) I had a lovely surprise when I got to work this morning and remembered that I had ordered these labels to sew into my creations.... instant happiness from something so small is greatly appreciated!

Happy birthday Jessica!
