Pewter hat badges

Anonymous Morris now have our top hats.

The aim is to decorate them with small objects, in team colours of red, black and silver/white.

Here's my first item:




Little pewter pin badges are ideal as the pin goes right through the thickness of that hat - broach pins would be no use at all.

If anyone has any  unwanted pewter animal pin badges collecting dust in a drawer, I'd be very happy to have them...


(I'm still learning with my new camera.  I've started a photobucket account, but I don't know how to make the picture on LJ a sensible size.  It looks bigger here than it does on Photobucket)

Czech Xmas Biscuits

Look what I got in the post yesterday from my friend Vjezkova!  Aren't they wonderful!



Vera shares my love of folk customs and season traditions.

These are gingerbread biscuits from the Czech Republic.  St Nicholas, Devil and Angel.

On December 5th, St Nicholas's day, people dress up in these costumes.  You can read more about it here.
