I think the way I joined the squares made all the difference, they are crocheted together instead of sewn. It certainly brightens a room.<br /><br />xTaniaTaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743532158600929042.post-19153686258584262122018-01-26T21:46:34.265+10:302018-01-26T21:46:34.265+10:30Dear Debbie,

We only use it during Summertime.

I think a simple white color would really set it off nicely. :) I was wondering, do your use your hot tub to cool off in (unheated of course) in the hot weather? My husband and I do. In fact, I think we may actually use it more to cool off during hot weather than we do to warm up during the cold weather months. :)Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743532158600929042.post-48901151804801551192018-01-26T15:40:25.902+10:302018-01-26T15:40:25.902+10:30What a great op shop haul!

The smocked dress.... my girls had these... usually a white collar with a small frill of the floral edging that or piping of the floral edging it and a grub rose matching the other embroidery. You may not have the spare fabric to do the edging so just a matching rose would do or even plain will still be beautiful. It is just lovely and I think beautiful that you can complete it!<br />All your garden and produce looks wonderful. I think I will have figs soon too from the farm. Probably best if not yet until I deal with what I have! <br />Your pantry is fantastic Tania!

I have given most of those ones away but the remainder are now in the fridge where they will keep for a long time. I have had some in the fridge since well before Christmas and they are still usable. In cooler weather they are fine kept in the pantry.<br /><br />xTaniaTaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743532158600929042.post-5736441952560622018-01-25T21:33:08.245+10:302018-01-25T21:33:08.245+10:30Hi Meg,

There was so much at one place we went to I couldn't make up my mind what to buy. <br /><br />I happened to be in the right place, right time for the haul pictured. It is a little op shop in a small country town nearby, and the prices are dirt cheap, just as they should be :)<br /><br />xTaniaTaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743532158600929042.post-29095211573237641382018-01-25T21:28:47.378+10:302018-01-25T21:28:47.378+10:30Thank you Kathy.
