Wrapping up

I know we said we’re off on holiday, but just quickly… I went to Duckie’s Christmas Market last night at the Barbican. On until 30th Dec, I recommend it. After recent trips to antique fairs, the vintage stalls are cheap by comparison. My friend and I bought some sloe gin and lots of presents for ourselves, including this wrap which just reminds me of the way presents looked when I was little.

    Yes and if your grandmother was still alive presents would still look like that, with the paper recycled and ironed, possibly.

    How right Helen is, I had forgotten about ironed wrapping paper. I love this paper. GG

      Thanks for the comments. I might well be ironing this and recycling it myself. I only bought three sheets but I should have asked the man how much for the lot – he had loads of it.
