Hello lovelies...Here ... a gorgeous vintage box...
containing these pristine, linen, embroidered serviettes.....
Sharp intake of breath, as this is what I have done with them today ~
Now to those of you who have not run away screaming.....and I know there are a good many of you out there that would accuse me of .... well, a travesty. I paid the money for this box of delights and I wanted to make these beautiful pieces of fabric into something that can be enjoyed and used in another form!
Although I say it myself, I think they are far more enjoyable made into something sweet and pretty, rather than sitting at the bottom of an ironing basket for months on end, and getting all stained by inconsiderate Spag Bol eaters!
Change of fabric...
The purse below, made today from a pair of curtains, (no longer in use ;-)) Sanderson's Little Chelsea. Subtley aged, with a slightly faded air of elegance to the fabric...just like me ;-) I wish.

Well, I hope I haven't offended your sensibilities and thank you all so much for leaving such great comments and taking the time to stop by. x
ps. last post entitled "you make the moon a mirror ball" by the magical 'Elbow'. The most beautiful of love songs, in my humble.
