Old becomes new.

My brother had some brillant old hats. I wished I could have got some as my children often wear hats unlike when they were very young. If you look through your Nan's old clothes or antique fairs in England you will see those wonderful plaid blankets that we all had in our cars as kids or those wonderful lace clothes and flannel sheets. My brother loved antiques his house was quite cluttered but if you looked in it today you'd find some gems that you could use to make into something very fashionable today. Take an old cap and put a glitter peace sign on it. If you find old plaid flannel sheets maybe there is a bit torn cut that bit off and get a cheap piece of contrasting color and and now you have made the new again. Old army blankets can be jazed up too get red or black broad felted ribbon and put on them. You can use them as an extra blanket or in your car. Old flower pots can be decorated into wonderful tiddings of sweet delights clean them up and put cookies in them remember put them in foil first. My sister has an old boot in her house the classic with a flower growing out of it. I love apple crates I don't have them but they are great to store things in them. What we cringe as junk of our parents realy may well be a treasure as the saying goes don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Look at this classic coat that my daughter is wearing believe or not my mother had a similar one in the 50's how time truely keeps still.

Wishing you lots of tasty English Delights.
