Trash, meaning I saved these from the trash!
They are TREASURES!
The friend who shares mounds of antique ephemera,
buttons, books, prints etc. offered Sweet 16 and I
boxes and boxes of antique lace and linens.
I don't know anything about these pieces... except...
...they're old
...they're stained here and there
...they were used
...they're loved
...they're perfect for pen and ink!
So old and delicate~ I hand-washed several pieces.
Boxes and boxes for a song~
Because imperfect doesn't sell.
It was a nice break from a few deadlines and
our computer printer that is making me grumpy.
I'm going to list this collection in my
Etsy store...
(Please click above to visit)
I will have a collection of birds listed soon.
Several will be on muslin~ with a few on old linens.
Thank you for so many sweet comments!
I love to visit your pages after I read your notes~
You're all so fun, creative, unique... treasured!
OH! GUESS WHAT?
Tomorrow I will blog about an original giveaway!

Coming up with something extra special to share~
