A VE Topper

 Isn't this lovely? Its just round the corner from us, so its the post box we use.

 
The crocheted topper was there before the anniversary of VE day and is now battling against the weather.



After all the weeks of sunshine and temperatures in the high twenties, it is now very wet.
We are having gusts of wind and the rain which we badly needed..
But the 'Topper' is braving it all and it looks amazing.  How lovely that someone has crocheted this.. thank you to who ever has done it.
Have any of you have one near to where you live?

  2. I have never seen anything like that where I live in the US. How fun. Have you seen other things like that in your neighborhood?

  6. They are so pretty and I'm glad when you folks over there post pictures for me over here to see. Since I crochet I admire the work that's put into him.

  7. It is interesting to see the different coloured poppies. I'm not sure I'm aware of what they all symbolise. As far as I can tell, the British legion acknowledges red, white (peace union) black (afro Caribbean) and purple (animals)

  8. That's a lovely topper. They have appeared here over the last few months on two nearby post boxes, they move between the two and then I assume further on when a new one appears on the nearest box:)

  10. That is very nice and took some time to crochet. The mail boxes here are a different shape so that would not work on ours.

  11. Those crochet post box toppers are very cheerful. There is one on the post box inside our local Tesco and there used to be one that was changed quite regularly near my grandaughters school. Lots of work goes into them.
    Windy and rainy here too, the gardens needs it though.

  12. We don't have toppers on our mailboxes but I enjoy seeing them on people's blog posts. This is the first one for quite a while.

  13. That is a pretty post box topper. Unfortunately we don't have any here currently, as the last few times they were displayed, they were taken by someone.
