Whats in a name?

While over visiting Rag-tag stitchin the other day I discovered not only do we share the same name but also the same collection! I  wonder how many people who share the same name also share the characteristic's?  I must admit since entering into blog land I have now met two other Michelle's who share not only my name but my interests. So I decided to google MICHELLE-it's origin believed to be Hebrew, meaning-'who resembles God'. Feminine form of Michael. A popular name in the 1940's and 1970's thanks to the Beatles song - Michelle. We even have a hurricane named after us from 2001!  So as promised to the other Michelle, here is a look at my pink collection:


 Well the weather has really packed up here in Stratford, so have an enjoyable nite stitching, Michelle.

  1. A lovely name it is too! I've come across a few Nicky's in blogland too, we were pretty common in the 70's too, not sure why. From memory I think Nicola means 'victory of the people' or something similar! Love your pink china, very pretty. Have a lovely evening.
