Together with my vintage scarf buddies on the #knotandtriangle thread, we have other passions for the detritus of the past, including old tins. So, here's #TinPanAllies - with a couple of posts already out there. My first contribution is my collection of Oxo tins across the eras.

The dailies.
What are yours?

Two new (vintage) chiffon scarf purchases to declare #knotandtriangle crew! One in deepest navy and one in colours I never normally go near, but which, somehow, works!

Saying Hello to spring in all-out green today, including a subtle scarf for my #knotandtriangle buddies that has been a real grower for me - a present from one of my best friends, also a scarf connoisseur.
Happy Easter chicks!

One for my #knotandtriangle buddies - had to pull this off a vintage Japanese Hammura scarf today as hanging by a thread, but even this flotsam feels a thing of beauty - Pure Silk Twill. Hand Rolled. FOREIGN.

For my #knotandtriangle buddies, I have inherited another beautiful scarf from my friend who passed. A Paul Smith silk with Richard Duardo's Garbo - I'll cherish this one

Yoohoo #knotandtriangle Got a tip off from a friend on my way home about a sample sale. You know who got herself over there at breakneck speed to add this Harriet Backer x National Museum beauty to my collection.

karen Urban Kisses Radical Embroiderer🇺🇦 🇳🇿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿#BLM This was my scarf of the week this week. 100% nylon and made in Japan. I’ve got a couple of pleated scarves and find them rather pleasing! It’s been a black and yellow kind of week. Lots of loud yellow jewellery evidenced too. #knotandtriangle

A present from a lovely friend that she picked up down Brighton way. Funnily enough I am currently working on a semi-psychedelic embroidery with a big splash of neon pink. She must have known!

For the #knotandtriangle gang
Where I keep quite a few of my buttons.
And yes I know they get dusty but I find it easier to rummage.
CarolineCollettWriter L E A Urban Kisses karen and I know there are others too but I need to write you down & I’ve forgotten the button # 😬

Especially for the #knotandtriangle gals

Something I don’t find very often any more a fab silk scarf in a charity shop (English Eccentrics) for not much more than a couple of cups of coffee mind you, that’s expensive these days! CarolineCollettWriter L E A Urban Kisses karen

'elegant' is subjective. there are other cassette options available on this site

A new year’s addition for #knotandtriangle club!

A walk down a mid ‘90’s lane.
A good friend used to take me to the English Eccentrics warehouse sale. A lovely thing! Can’t quite fathom that it would be considered vintage now.
