Some patriotic purchases........ Royal Standard vertical banner, a sash made from 2m vintage ribbon for the Queen's Coronation in 1953 ( removed swiftly from Helen's gorgeous shop.....sorry Helen! )
Two lovely pin brooches of the late Queen Mother and her husband George VI for their Coronation in 1937 with red, white and blue ribbon.....and a simple, gilt and enamel crown brooch.
A fabulous Union Flag button on its original Made in England card.......
And these handmade Dorset buttons with little brass safety pins on the reverse.......
Very patriotic!!

Gorgeous finds!
ReplyDeleteOne word..... Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmm I think I may need the ribbon back . . . . . . . . . . . now I've seen how gorgeous it looks!!
ReplyDeleteHelen might be cross if I say 'gorgeous' - but that;s the word to describe your treasures!!
ReplyDeleteMmm, a tailor's dummy full of treasured pieces - a lovely idea!
ReplyDeleteThe RE shop in your earlier blog entry made me want to jump in the car asap - what a gorgeous place! Perhaps just as well it is a little bit of a drive from here, as I would most likely to a little spend-crazy...
Thank you for your kind comments on my blog!
Best wishes,
Helena, The Swenglish Home
