Unlike the last weekend I was working we had 600 people throug the museum today for our "It's a Plaything" exhibition which launched this week and had a special fun day today.

Watch out carefully for the Sindy doll on 1 minute 51 seconds - the elegant ball gown was made by my mother copying her own newest evening dress (made to a Vogue pattern) but in left over fabric from her wedding dress a dozen years earlier.
My role today was facilitating something in excess of 60 children designing flags for bunting. The prize for the best was a day out at Butlins for the family, and the runners up got boy and girl goody bags.
