Jan - The Barbie Story


The Barbie story that most shocked visitors was that of the 8-yr old
girl being injected by her mother with Botox. The mother has since retracted her story, but not before her daughter was apparently taken into care.
So when is it acceptable for little children to be dressed and treated as little adults?
Where do we finally draw the line?

Young Embroiderers

'Frome Young Embroiderers' visited last Saturday and decorated the biggest candle which, as you can see, is
at least 8' tall; this group meets regularly under the guidance of Margaret Howard, was such a pleasure to meet them and see them enjoying everyone's work

reflections

layers, facets, sides, back, front, inside,
many ways of viewing, understanding,
opening to experience...



reflections on Liberty lawn and silk - visitors sharing memories
of a child's dress, fluttering curtains, tablecloths, silk dresses,
a friend arriving in a wonderful old treasured Liberty tie -
the backs of things and what they reveal..
