Clare wants me to crochet this set for her.  I reckon that if I could find a hydrangea bush that wasn’t all crispy I could even set up a similar photoshoot. 

On the topic of vintage crochet patterns, there is currently an amazing lot of  Japanese crochet patterns being showcased over here at futuregirl craft blog.  Highly inspirational!  Alice does lots of wonderful crochet and her blog is terrific.
