Pink Puffs



Remember these from last spring?



Little suffolk puffs or yo yo's made from my husband's old shirts -
see last March's post here






No, of course you don't!

But I hadn't forgotten about them, just hadn't found  the right time to use them.

Until yesterday.














Natural linen cushion with pink puffs trim and buttons,
with vintage peach and yellow floral reverse
