What a nice score (and save) of these books Louise. I'm assuming they're not for sale and will be staying in your collection? (hint) ;) The letter makes it all the more charming as does the shot of the street where Aunt Flo lived -- making the history feel so present.

Thanks Laura. I'm definitely keeping these books. I have two of them, including number 4; although it doesn't include illustrations. I just like looking though them now and again. I feel I should look after them for auntie Flo.

The patterns look really promising- and I had not heard of this system. Some of the examples in your Blog are fantastic!. :sunshine:
