Holiday Treasures #1

Finally back home...

..and completely done in!

But...

...I'm now re-discovering all the treasures I picked up while in France. :-)

Wonderful old rubber stamps of old French coins...

...and delightful Cicadas and generally "Provencal" images - just right for my "Lavender & Lace" bits.



Coming across a Brocante market on our last day in the Perigord allowed me to bag some beautiful lace, buttons and bobbins....




...and a couple of handwritten documents....one from 1822....









Love the elegant writing! :-)

I need a bit of time to do think of something with them though....

Have a great weekend

Little French panel #1

Here's my first one....





...using some of those gorgeous sari silks...

...hand-dyed and printed fabrics...

...lace, beads, silk ribbons and rayons....

...old handwriting dipped in batik wax...

..and French flea market pearl buttons...

...done on a background of antique linen.



I'm pleased with it  :-)


My 300th posting is coming up soon....

...and I'll have one of these little panels done specially to giveaway...
