“If you can’t grow petunias, you probably should be doing something else.” – anonymous.
Luckily in Melbourne, there are often Indian Summer days that stretch into March, and there are always flowers in gardens. I could have chosen any flowers, but I chose the last of my potted petunias, which in spite of being at the end of their season, are still colourful enough to put on a good show. I hope that you like them too, that it brightens your Saturday and makes you smile.
Aquilegia atrata, known as dark columbine, is a plant with dark purple, almost black flowers. It is native to France, Italy, Central Europe, Slovenia, the Alps and the Apennine Mountains. I came across this beauty walking through the forest along Lake Misurina in the Dolomites.
At Christmas, a very dear friend of mine, who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions in beautiful tins.
Amongst the gifts were some Polish crocheted flowers, some hand woven daisies and some Estonian and Latvian hand dyed lace blooms and butterflies. I have placed them on a black background to give the impression of traditional Eastern European folk art, which I also thinks highlights the delicate beauty and bright colour of the lace from these countries. I thought these made a nice image to share on what has been a very cold, grey and wintery day here!

At Christmas, a very dear friend of mine, who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions for Christmas in beautiful tins.
Amongst the gifts were these pretty white lace hearts which were made in Latvia, some hand woven daisies and some Estonian hand dyed lace. I have placed them on a black background to give the impression of traditional Eastern European folk art, which I also thinks highlights the delicate beauty and bright colour of the lace from these countries. I thought these made a nice image to share in the lead up to Saint Valentine’s Day.
When it was my birthday two years ago, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas.
Those wonderful gifts are what has inspired me to create this series of "Embroider my World" images featuring my vintage bobbin collection. In this case I am using two of my Dewhurst's Sylko Dark Lilac reels of cotton which date from between 1938 and 1954. The two spools sit on some antique lace which has been embroidered with lilac and pink floral details. Although ecru now, the lace has probably changed colour from white due to age. The spools are also accesorised by some lilac coloured satin roses, a floral sterling silver thimble made by Henry Griffith and Sons in 1897, a pair of silver sewing scissors, an unusual German sterling silver pincushion which is narrow with a band of green velvet and features a cherub with pet doves tied with ribbons on either side, and a beautiful German Art Deco half-doll.
The "half-doll" is a dainty porcelain or bisque figurine, fashionable in the early Twentieth Century with an upper body, head, arms, but no legs. These dolls were produced in the thousands at the height of their popularity by German factories such as Dressel and Kister, Heubach, Goebel and Kestner. Later they were produced in France, America and later still, in Japan. They commonly served as handles and toppers for fabric covers made for powder boxes on ladies’ dressing tables and small brushes, however they were also made for jewellery boxes, pincushions, tea cosies and other covers. In this case, my German half-doll has romantic long blonde curls, but her hair is dressed with a fashionable contemporary (for the time) Art Deco style bandeau. I imagine that she would have been made for a lady’s boudoir and was most likely the topper for a powder bowl or even a powder puff. She has been hand painted.
The floral thimble is sterling silver and was made by silversmiths Henry Griffith and Sons in Birmingham in 1897. Henry Griffith and Sons commenced in 1850, was continued as Henry Griffith & Sons (until 1898) and later as Henry Griffith & Sons Ltd. They were well known for their manufacture of silver thimbles, and later for their silver and gold jewellery. They closed their doors in 1982. Thimble making was part of the Griffith family heritage. The father of Henry Griffith was a thimble maker and was put in charge of the thimbles departments at the beginning of his son's activity. The Griffiths became one of the leading producers of silver thimbles and were one of the only silversmiths who marked some of their thimbles with 'Sterling Silver' instead of having them hallmarked.
Belle Vue Mill, commonly known as Dewhurst’s, was built by Thomas Dewhurst in 1828. It opened in 1829 as John Dewhurst & Sons and was one of Skipton’s largest spinning and weaving mills. The mill’s position next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal meant that raw cotton could be shipped in by boats from Liverpool. Finished goods would then be sent back the same way ready for distribution. Coal to power the machine’s steam engines was also delivered by barge. In 1897 Dewhurst’s was bought by the English Sewing Cotton Co. It continued to produce Sylko, one of the mill’s most famous products. It was produced in over 500 colours and sold throughout the world. Sylko cottons are still available at haberdashers today.

When it was my birthday a few months ago, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas.
Amongst the gifts was this pretty ribbon of lilac and white embroidered daisies, some lilac and lavender crocheted daisies from Poland, some Estonian hand dyed lace and some tiny segments of crochet, all of which I have set up on the back terrace against one of my antique embroidered Art Deco doilies from the 1930s, and accessorised with a spool of Heminway and Bartlett violet cotton which dates from the Edwardian era and a spool of Anchor orchid purple cotton which is also Edwardian.
Buell Heminway (1838-1915) learned the silk thread business under his father, General Merritt Heminway (1800-1886), who had established the company that would become M. Heminway and Sons Silk Company (later the Belding-Heminway Co.) in Watertown, Litchfield in 1822. Buell organized the Heminway-Bartlett Silk Company with his own son and H. H. Bartlett in 1888 after his father’s death, building just down the road from the M. Heminway facility. While the company never grew as large as M. Heminway and Sons, it experienced relative prosperity. The firm, which produced spool, embroidery, knitting and crochet silks, established trade relationships with emerging chain department stores in America, and extended large retailers goods on credit. It was a risk that paid off, as the company’s business came to rely heavily upon those retailers. By 1912, the product line was expanded to include silk hosiery. The company was quick to adopt the use of rayon and other synthetic fibers in their products as early as the 1920s, keeping them relevant in the market. In 1930, over 300 workers worked at the Watertown facility. Buell’s enterprise outlived his father’s by decades, and in 1963 the firm purchased the Starr Net Company, a manufacturer of fishing nets in East Hampton. It closed only in the early 2000s.
The Anchor brand can trace its history back to 1866 when the Clark family adopted the Anchor brand for their embroidery threads manufactured in Paisley, Scotland. Embroidery threads came into being circa 1812 when supplies of silk became unobtainable in the UK due to a blockade by Napoleon. Two weavers, James and Patrick Clark, turned their attention to cotton and managed to produce yarn which was sufficiently fine, smooth and strong to be used instead of silk for weaving. Sewing thread was primarily silk or linen at the time and the Clark brothers developed their cotton yarn into the first cotton sewing thread.

A tall white house stands isolated against a vibrant red landscape, with a large, bright red moon in a dark, purple sky. The foreground features abstract red and orange grass-like patterns.
A dark purple gladioli photograhed this afternoon, Sunday 5th July, 2020, along Edgeworth David Drive at Hornsby, in northern Sydney. I discovered it by sheer accident as I was walking to the Waitara Magpies Club to watch the NRL football match on the big screen!!
And there it was, all alone in the late afternoon in mid-winter, growing against a yellow-painted concrete wall in a most urban, and un-garden like precinct in Hornsby - opposite the car-park entry into the giant Hornsby Westfield shopping centre. No other gladioli friends in sight, and only a clump of orange nasturtions nearby for support. Quite a bizarre thing.
Photographed with a Samsung Galaxy S20+ mobile phone camera, and processed in Snapseed whilst watching the Newcastle Knights currently leading the Manly-Warringah Sea-Eagles, 14-6, in the NRL.
So, a 'Dark Knight' I am calling it. But wait, a score update - it's Knights 14-12. Very close!
And this was the final score - so the Dark Knight wins!!

No need to ask me if we can be friends
And help me right back on my feet again
And if I miss you, well just now and then
Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one coming on soon
There's a blue moon shining
When I am reminded of all we've been through
Such a blue moon shining
Does it ever shine down on you?
(Part of a song sung by Mary Black)

This Christmas bauble was hand beaded with sequins and pins by me. I have a Christmas tradition. I bead Christmas baubles for a select group of friends every year.
Each bauble is 15 centimetres in diameter and contain hundreds of sequins, varying in number depending upon the complexity of the pattern and the type of sequins I use. Most sequins in this bauble are 5mm in diameter, except the stars which are 10mm in diameter. Depending upon the colour of the sequin, I will use either a gold or a silver pin to attach it to the bauble. I always leave the flowers until last, allowing a gap in the sequin chain to pin them in.
These baubles are smaller than some others I do, and because it is a simple pattern which starts from the inside and is worked outwards in ever larger circles, each bauble takes approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours per side.
It is however, a labour of love which I do to pass the time throughout the year.
