“Lucy Locket lost her pocket,
Kitty Fisher found it;
Not a penny was there in it,
Only ribbon round it.”
Traditional English Nursery Rhyme, published in 1842, but sung for at least a century beforehand.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 2nd of August is “regard the R”, a theme where it is required to take a photo where something beginning with the letter R should be the main subject of the picture. In this case, I have opted to delve into one of my many collections. I collect antique and vintage purses, handbags and reticules. I have chosen one of the latter: a reticule. So what is a reticule? A reticule, also known as a ridicule or indispensable, was a type of small handbag or purse, similar to a modern evening bag, used mainly from 1795 to 1820, but as late as the Twentieth Century up until the Great War. The reticule became popular with the advent of Regency fashions in the late Eighteenth Century. Ladies did not have pockets in their dresses throughout this period, and a reticule could be used to keep the necessities a lady might require. They are usually embroidered or beaded. My reticule is an Edwardian one that has been stunningly hand beaded with a pattern of pomegranates, grapes and flowers, and the reticule features a russet silk interior (another R). It is in such good condition for its age that this reticule is a museum quality piece. To add some extra Rs to fill the frame, I have placed the reticule on some satin brocade, featuring Art Nouveau roses. I hope you like my choice of subject for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile.

My delivery of the Ripstop Nylon arrived today just in time for the Letter R. Used to make drawstring bags for Operation Gratitude. A request has gone out requesting them so must be low on stock.
Info from the website:
Drawstring bags are a handy and useful item for our troops to store their small or loose personal items. They are extra storage when a backpack is full and can be used to carry extra water, ammo and other small items that would fall to the bottom of their backpack. They can also be used to hold hygiene items for our sailors on ships, and store small items so they can easily be found!

Simple & Sweet Scrappy Swap - Lined Drawstring Bag. I have a few goodies to pick up when I am out and about today and then it will be on it's merry way!
Oh man--these little birds just won my heart!! It looks like the one is whispering sweet nothings into the ear of the other one--SWEET! I used a little different color scheme on this one --turquoise and lilac, which I think turned out quite nice!
Family gathering, guests, bad weather ... there are many reasons why Mogli and I don't go hiking right now. However, I made great use of the time around the house. I finally organized / cleaned up my sewing room. My old baskets, in which I hoarded my scraps, are literally falling apart. Therefore I needed some replacement. As the shops were closed, I decided to use my new drawstring bag for the low volume scraps. Right now another one is in the making for all the blue and turquoise squares. Later on I hope to make one more for all the hexagons, and so on. Somehow I like the idea that the outside of the drawstring bags is corresponding with their content.
If you want to see more photos, you'll find them in my album "WIP / Quilter's Diary". Happy quilting and sewing!
