Friday's (Brief) Flash of Inspiration

Take one beautiful old buckle (found in my Granny's button tin - see here for more of its treasures)...


Admire for several minutes and think how it could be better appreciated...


Hunt on the computer for a suitable photo and cut to size...

(This one of a nine year old Miss U-t-B at Roald Dahl's 90th Birthday Party
- yes, honestly! -
drinking some dangerously green frobscottle which had been created by Heston Blumenthal!)

Put together...



Hang and admire!

    That is lovely, a great idea - like your new header - have the spots changed colour too?

      I thought it was looking a bit too Christmassy before so had to have a change - new picture and new spots! Dare I say - well spotted?
