Birthday Bunnies

6/23/2012

So while all the total chaos was going on it was mine and Richards birthdays, pretty hard to keep presents hidden when everything was in storage (Rich presents nearly ended up in the storage unit but I remembered at the last minuet and retrieved them!)

As ever my boy surpassed himself on the gift front...
Picture
I got a beautiful Willcox & Gibbs sewing machine, we've worked out it was made around the 1870s (Rich mentioned here that its 100 years older than his Cortina and in better condition), I also got something I have been moaning endlessly about not having...

... proper fabric scissors! These are just fab, ok I realise they are just scissors and for anyone who doesn't sew or need to cut fabric I'm sure thats how they appear. But for the creatives out there these are simple THE BEST SCISSORS IN THE WORLD!!! I'm not kidding, they are Sheffield steel with enamel handles and cut like a hot knife through butter, they are a total pleasure to use and can be found at the wonderful Merchant & Mills (I want everything on their website!)

He also got me another case of old butterflies (anyone who knows me know I can't resist taxidermy butterflies...yes I'm odd like that).

And even more butterflies off Rich's Mum, Dad and our niece (who thought I was taking too long to unwrapped them and told me what there where, I was like that as a kid too)

One of the books from my ever lengthening books list (cheers Mum!)

I was a very lucky girl this year, books, butterflies and sewing stuff, I couldn't have picked anything better!

I'd love to show you what Rich got but it was mostly parts for the Cortina (which if I'm honest all look pretty similar to me) and have now mostly been fitted, but he's a happy boy so that the main thing!
