Anglophile Alert!!!

Good evening friends...

As promised in my last post, I am sharing photos of my little purchases from browsing antique shops during my birthday getaway to a country village. Together they totally reveal my Anglophile side!!! I bought an Alfred Meakin coronation plate and a vintage tea towel. The tea pot was a birthday present and fitted my obsession perfectly (except I don't drink tea LOL).


In keeping with my purchases I couldn't resist stitching on my "London" sampler.  You can see my before shot here.  I happily stitched the "N" in the top left corner.


My Anglophile obsession is so crazy I need to purchase one of these!

Thanks for wandering through my streets of London...
