The dress was yellow, and I remember how much I liked the smocking on it.<br /><br />"Smocking" when I keep typing it, saying it in my mind, it starts seeming like a nonsensical word :)<br /><br />I enjoy the selection of craft books at our main library, many are from the sixties and seventies and a number of the projects are quite something, the word garish comes to mind when looking at some of the pictures!<br /><br />Bean<br />Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484707482492844677noreply@blogger.com
