Two more MANCHESTER images...
The drawing of the old sewing machine in the Milly Molly Mandy illustration reminded me that I had this photograph. I read somewhere that there were 10,000 of these decorating shop windows in the UK alone. Unfortunately, the store 'All Saints' is now in administration (the results of home sewing???).
Finally, the ultimate in luxury, a Hermes scarf. This is the only photo I managed to take - there was a lovely one in pinks and blues to the right, but I found I was being stared at from within the shop for taking this one! I've always admired the drawing qualities and composition of these scarves.
