Coronation Crackers- One Day To Go


Not long now ducks, but i do have one last blogette ready for tomorrow ;-p
Please excuse the 60 year old creases!
To think she went abroad a Princess and came home a Queen...

I think she looks stunning in the photo- quite radiant!
I bet she was looking at the flypast...
This whole newspaper was printed in gold ink-
Which is all very lovely, but it doesn't photograph well!


I watched a programme all about the 53 Coronation last night and they showed examples
of the embroidery that was done for her dress- my, they were beautiful!

***
and here is something to keep the little'uns *cough* and Tupney amused!

Isn't it wondrous- it has sparkles and all!


Some of the cut out bits you can make into your very own Coronation procession.

Oh and one last thing.
I have just got back from putting up a small 1950's display, and I thought I would share a few snaps,
if I may...






Gosh, it all looks so messy, but my displays are much better in the flesh and don't really photo very well (Oh and I don't mean to sound like I'm blowing my own trumpet!).
