More gifts from France.

Some time ago I received a little parcel from Jonquil in France which contained these wonderfully crafted items


 
 
 
These beautifully detailed items are destined for an "upstairs" room in Netherton.
 
A couple of weeks ago I received another little package from Jonquil, this time for a "downstairs" room.
 
What do you think of these?    Aren't they marvellous?   Just look at the fine stitching on this little mob cap -
 

 
 
 
Not only did I receive the mob cap, but I am also the very proud owner of this beautiful gown -

 
 
Just look at all that fine detail -
 
 
These pearl buttons down the back are such a lovely touch
 
 
and here they are again on the cuffs.
 
 
I can't thank you enough Jonquil, they really are wonderful items and I'm honoured that you took the time to create them for me, especially when I know you are busy, busy in real life.
 
I have recently completed a servant's room in another property and was very tempted to put these items in that particular room but Netherton is such a grand property, only grand items (such as these) will do - even if they are for servants.   They will be servants of quality!
 
Thank you so much Jonquil, they are very much appreciated.    Irene x
 
 
*I hope you received my email, Jonquil.   If not, please let me know.
