  3. Hilde: Of course I would follow you lovely! I would miss your lovely posts too much if not! :-)

    Becks: I am a bit of a bargain book finder. I have to admit I go in hunting more for herbals and come out with more and more vintage crochet or homemaking books! How could I possibly resist? haha
