The bad first - what has happpened to the blogs overnight? I seem to have lost most of the photos on my blog for some reason - hopefully they will return just as mysteriously as they went.
The good - our loft is finally getting a good clear out, and one of the goodies that appeared from the depths was my old John Bull Printing Set. It contains around 40 small stamps. I have removed them from their wooden bases and intend to clean them up and mount them on Easy Mount or some such cushioning. Then they will go well with the old embroidery transfers I have resurrected, and the old cigarette cards. Nothing is wasted. I did throw away all the wooden mounts, and the ink pad (which still had ink in it, but I do not know what type of ink). I think the distress inks will suilt them best, fitting in with their age and style. When I get them sorted I will post some of the results. I even have all the letters and the frames in which to create the words for stamping.
