weekend with the girls...a couple of weekends ago..

Trudy and 2 of her friends, Sarah and Laura, drove up one Saturday morning to visit for the weekend..I loved it. They are all lovely, warm, intelligent young women and can they talk!! But they are creative and sensible and lots of fun and having them around was a privilege. We spent Saturday morning op-shopping and then headed to the beach with me covered up like a walking tent due to my sun-damaged skin and them showing as much skin as possible..in a very decent way. They can do it as they're all gorgeous..

Sarah brought up an armful of old lace tablecloths with some great ideas of sewing up vests and boleros...we spent some time making up patterns and discussing options such as using vintage glass buttons etc.

Relaxing - Trudes after a week of flu and Laura winding down....
More ideas - they were flowing all day..lots of fun..

and Trudy having a look at 'where in the world', literally, she and Tom will be heading to in August...very exciting stuff.
