French boxes and pretty postcards.....


Lovely French biscuit boxes with keys came home with me yesterday from the Fair at Hexham.



Some vintage ribbon for future sewing projects.....



The dinkiest pen nib box.....


And a selection of vintage postcards that caught my eye....



This last one brought a smile to my face......


Everytime I look at him I start singing.

Not the World War 1 song....... but the Eliza Doolittle version from last year......

Enjoy the rest of your week and remember........smile, smile, smile!

  3. Lovely things, Julie! Why would biscuit boxes have keys? (well, with me around trying to diet I don't know why I'm asking!!) - did they sell them with biscuits in, but with a key for later use of the tin? - I guess so. That last card is so funny! Abby x
