Pieter actually played this very song one day in April of 1980 during lunch time and via the phone...
Get Into the Dream Boat of Love by Heinz Dietz and Kurz Felz 1955
Or in German: Steig in das Traumboot der Liebe

More PEACOCK CURTAINS Designed and Hung
It has been already quite some time since I did design these Peacock Hand Crocheted Curtains...
Here I'm sewing on the Brass Lift Rings (found in Roman Shade Artisans).
Sitting in our Veranda Fleur de Lys chair...
This is what I was doing above...
From this 1957 Lily Mills Peacock Buffet Scarf I designed the curtains to be hand crocheted by a lovely Dutch lady, Mia Keizers.
She only used the mercerized DMC threads.
It was only the peacock that I would be using...
Left underside of peacock with instructions in Dutch for Mia
Remainder of the left peacock till center (midden in Dutch)
Remainder of the left peacock's head till center
Bottom right of right peacock with instructions for working it out into correct size.
The right sided peacock part
Right sided peacock's head...
Yes, it DID fit and I have hung them 'dry'.
They would have stretched to perfection when laundered and hung wet!
Shown are the brass nails that I did sew on and Pieter who hung them for a dear friend, used also brass nails.
Crochet set–up side is tighter and looked perfect.
Pieter working on the brass nails for this long wall with four sections...
Next will be the long wall with one–piece crocheted curtain worked over the 12 cm wide wood supports.
Side sections of four crocheted panels completed.
Long window also done...
Mia worked with a nice pattern on top of the 12 cm wood sections in–between the peacock patterns.
And once more for the side windows four separate peacock crocheted panels.
Wow, I felt so relieved when we had them hanging and it looked good!
That sure was a mega task completed by Mia Keizers.
And luckily, the shipping of such a heavy and bulky parcel was still affordable...

Pieter Wearing his Silk Ascot with his Dad's Tie Stick Pin
Pieter loves wearing one of his tweed suits during cooler weather...
Like this McGregor.
Guess it is in his DNA... see post below.
January 15 was cool enough for wearing his lambswool vest under tweed jacket with his Silk Ascot from Salvatore Ferragamo and using his Dad's Tie Stick Pin
McGregor used to be a Dutch Fashion brand.
Detail with the Gold Tie Stick Pin
A little seed pearl is being set in this antique gold tie stick pin.
This fine antique gold tie stick pin is still complete with butterfly clutch.
Short 40 seconds video showing how the tie stick pin is being inserted.
Be aware though that in this shortened video, there is NO BUTTERFLY CLUTCH!

The fine silk ascot is from Salvatore Ferragamo, made in Italy.
Does any of you have an ascot for yourself or your spouse?
