    I too love my buttons. ❤
    Excellent idea to get thrift pillows to use as a filler for your own tapestries & needle work. Why have i never thought that.

    Can I just jump to the end and say what a beautiful view out the window- to me that is paradise.
    Like you,love nature and flowers and plants and to me that looks picture perfect and a beautiful haven to sit and read in a comfy chair or for you,also do crochet and knitting. I loved my books.had so many- in the hundreds a wall cupboard,full length of the wall,stuffed from crime fiction to bird watching to diaries of nature walking (by top nature authors) ,astrology,medical,Egyptology (another interest of mine) ,books similar to countrymen- I’d sit in my chair in my bedroom when much younger,by the window looking down the valley towards the sea (about 15miles away)
    Always enjoy your videos 💟💞💟☺️

      @@uglenddalejones2 Thankyou Glenda, I love to read your comments.I would have loved to live in the country like when I was little but the town is better for me.Everything is on my doorstep.At one time I thought a remote cottage would of been ideal but in reality it would of been a harder life.I love to go to the middle of nowhere listen to the birds to feel at peace with the world, but I am now a townie.xx🐝🐝🐝

      @@joyofthings as time has gone on,thankfully there’s more on the doorstep and of course home delivery which I use regularly. It did have its pitfalls years back,I have a few memories of the tough times in winter- having to resort to getting milk from a farm just a dozen houses above in the village. To be out yonder needs health fitness and age- however and I do repeat myself- ho,e delivery has proved essential when unable to travel or even walk- there’s many hills and mountains around me.
      The feeling of peace with the world is always there- depends on your lifestyle but it is something I love and always will love. Xxx

    Do you remember green shield stamp's? , there was a big shop in Liverpool you could exchange the book's of stamp's for something. Mother would take me on the train with her , she would have a lot of book's filled with stamp's, and she'd come home with one item 😊. It was a lovely day out , looking at all the big shop's.

    You can't have too many buttons, tales of the old countrymen, look's good. I've got a blackcurrant bush , bought it a couple of year's ago . It's the first year I've had fruit, l thought id leave it a little longer, make sure the fruit was nice and ripe , l went out yesterday and the bird's have stripped it of all fruit. Lesson learnt, use netting .
