One of my weaknesses is books, especially crafting books and vintage books. One of my more recent finds is a Mills and Boon book (but not of the romance variety) and it ticks both boxes, vintage and crafting. It is called Toys for your Delight by Winsome Douglass and was published in 1957. First of all I love the author's name, it's not often you meet a Winsome these days and the embroidered toys and illustrations in the book are truly beautiful.
I was also fortunate to find An Orange Robin Story Book at the op shop. I love the illustrations in this book and can see them as an embroidery one day....
I may of course need a million "one days" to do all the things I would like to do.
Happy stitching!
