I really must get on my broom and visit Haifa (more importantly YOU!) so that we can visit TelAviv and your daughter together! The antique purses would've caught MY eye as well, and the handknit cotton shirts would have also caught my eye. Amazing how animals and BIRDS 'cope', isn't it? Hugs, Noreen

I treated myself this month to a lot of 14 vintage knitting patter magazines from e-Bay. I have a real love of the old patterns and plan to spend hours pouring over them and years (I'm a very slow knitter) knitting things from them. I noticed quite a few patterns for handbags and purses. I am so impressed with the industriousness of our mothers and grandmothers who did so much by hand. They really are heroines!
