I have, quite literally, been gilding lilies today. I have some wild narcissi - also called Lent Lilies - in my garden, and as with most other plants, I save parts for making silk paper when they fade.

More glorious vintage tools today. I love this little pouch of ‘needful things.’ I love the mixture of crafting tools and other useful items. As I feel the mother of pearl warming to my skin, I am linked in sisterhood with those industrious women of yesterday.
