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

Dentelles

Finis!

I just love those pieces of lace!!

(...and if they aren't quite the right colour....then I spray them with Brusho!!)

Little French House "Lavender & Lace"

I suppose it was bound to happen sooner or later....

...working on my little French fabric collages....

...whilst thinking about the next Little French House to be done...

Well...

...here's the result...

"Lavender & Lace" (#1)
 


I'm now off to make a small collage panel for the giveaway in the next posting.

See you on the weekend  :-)

Tea & Leaf Tuesday

These Tuesdays are coming around a bit too quickly for my liking!

Not that I dislike them in any way...

...on the contrary, Tuesdays are VERY good indeed...

...with both tea and choir...

..but, gosh, the weeks are disappearing at an alarming rate...

..and I still have SO much to do!! :-o


Anyway, tea today is M&S Winter Spice.

No. It's not at all wintery out there at the moment...

...I just fancied the lovely spicy, cardamom & cinnamon taste...


Well...a little bit of what you fancy is good for you isn't it? :-)

On the leaf is a small Indian panel...

...with a little print, some painted lace, beads, and a Banjara dangle.


Fa la la la la.....
