Folksy Friday Awards and Medals!


Long Service and Good Conduct!


My Lovely husband was recently awarded his Long Service and Good Conduct Medal, which he should have recieved a couple of years ago for 20 years service, but as with all things, sometimes they take a while to arrange, and along with some fellow colleagues, he eventually recieved his award in a ceremony celebrating 22 years!


I am a very proud (and long suffering!) wifely! My eldest son and I watched him recieve his medal and listened to the lovely things his colleagues and senior officers had to say about him. Unfortunately my two youngest were in school, but we have some lovely pictures to share with them of the day.






Folksy 'Medally' Gallery


This got me thinking about the long hours, committment and service to crafting we here in folksy give to our chosen vocations and hobbies, so searched out some awards and medals from fellow folksy peeps.


Please just click on the pictures to 'pin' the item to your lapel and view in more detail.













I hope you have enjoyed my Folksy Friday feature this week and will 'award' it with a comment or two.







Thank you!

    Thank you everyone! So glad I wore heels that day, otherwise I would have looked diddy next to the two big men of my house, and I'm five foot six in my bare feet, so not really tiny as it is.
