WHENEVER I go to my Mum and Dad's I end up bringing home more than I took. I offloaded most of the lemons, the banksia pods, the mags, books and other odds and ends I took down, but came back with more op shop finds, books, mags, and some little pressies from Mum, Dad and my sister Bron. This pic, taken late at night before I finally crawled into bed, was what was waiting on the washstand for me. Mum left Ariel by Sylvia Plath and Birthday Letters by Ted Hughes, a 1950s ceramic dancing lady, a posy of violets and one of her handmade ribbon brooches. Bron left a book on vintage clothing and a new diary and Aunty Denise (my Mum's friend of more than 20 years) left a swatch of 1970s fabric. I feel loved.
