Below is a photo of the completed work. I particularly like the fact that Maureen has included the babies siblings names in the picture, on the balloon and flag...a nice touch.

Cross Stitch Picture
A few weeks ago I uploaded a photo of a cross stitch piece of work my friend had started for a new baby.

'Nostalgic' Storage Tin
How many families would have kept their important papers, ration books old photos in a tin box like this?
The one pictured was my grandparents...still with the ration book, insurance papers, etc inside it.

The tin itself was from Harry Vincent Ltd in Hunnington, Birmingham. The Blue Bird Toffees that were once manufactured there, left in October 1998 to become part of Needlers in Hull. The factory was still standing in 2008, eighty years after it was built......not sure if it still remains?
