Hello everyone! In the U.S. we are now on Daylight Savings Time and set our clocks back.
I heard one of my British Youtubers mention they had turned their clocks back as well. Do you live in an area where you change your clock? I know some states here do not follow this.
Are you enjoying an extra hour of sleep? It doesn't make any difference to me. I tend to get up the same time every morning.
On Thursday I talked about a pillow that I picked up at the Flea Market that seemed like a sachet/table sachet/pillow? You can read that here. Sue texted me that she had similar pillows in her collection. Here are front and back images she shared:
Sue said these were boudoir pillows. The first one is "flat as a pancake" as she put it; the second is overstuffed. Sue wrote, "they were intended to be decorations." I suspect this was the real purpose. Boudoir decor was popular during the first half of the 20th century. If you check here, you can read about boudoir dolls.
To me, the pillows seem like a nice alternative and more affordable than the boudoir dolls.
Sue also pointed out that why would you want the opportunity to stain your work with food? Excellent point!
Nann wrote too, citing that: "I've seen, or read about, hot pad mats with clove/orange scents though as I recall they're more like stuffed potholders than the lacey one you showed. I've never been inclined to make one, let alone a bunch of them."
From pinterest (but so cute!)
I have to say, I don't think my husband would appreciate the smell of clove and orange while we are eating dinner. I can see using this for a pot of tea because I tend to drink Constant Comment tea with clove and orange. But not for anything else.
Thanks for your input everyone!
Have a safe and happy day!
