Surprising finding

Hi friends,

yesterday we have been at our local flea market, just to have a look after a long time we haven't been there. We came home with a lovely set of creamer and sugar bowl, we loved the look of it. Once at home I had a closer look and on the bottom of each peace I found the mark BMP Canada. I googled it and surprisingly I discovered that it was a famous pottery production during 1947 to 2004. If you are interested have a look here and here.

It is just surprising how we could find such a piece here, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, probably it was brought here by some emigrant who was there and came back to the Azores.

Anyway, we love the pieces even more now!!

Have a great week-end. Hugs.

Saturday gardening

Hi everybody,

last Winter we had lots of wind and storm that killed some of our new planted bushes and trees. Well, we have lovely friends with a small garden with lots of bushes, trees and so on, so some times they have to take out plants that are to big. This morning was the yucca day!!! Here you can see the plantation...

And here is the final result. We made two groups of three yuccas. I'm really happy with it!!!

Now I only hope that they will survive this winter. 

Have a beautiful week-end.

Hugs.

First 9 Liberty DJ babies

Hello dear followers,

here are my first 9 Liberty Dear Jane babies. Today I sat down thinking about how many blocks I wanted to sew. I excluded blocks that I didn't particularly like and ended up with 132 blocks I will probably sew. The quilt will then be 11 x 12 blocks. That's for now....

I wish you all a great Sunday. Hugs.

Quilt measurements: 12" x 12"

Technique: hand sewed and hand quilted

Don't forget to visit AMY'S CREATIVE SIDE and have a look to all the fabulous entries and have fun.
