My beautiful boxes of threads are
like a huge crayon box of colour and texture.
The thing is, I think you will agree they are such wonderful colours and so pretty that do they really belong in a drawer. That said with the Summer on its way would they get sun damaged in any way so at the the moment I am totally undecided.
Some are thicker thread but most are silky and fine and the middle of that row of threads are the colours that scream out to be on a picture with the sea and shells ....
Today though I am easing my way back in gently after a weekend of great fun and lots of tidying to still do.
I have kept them out for now and will probably put them away out of the sun's reach for use in a design of the future. They still have their original hand written labels on them and I can not stop gazing at them.
So this morning I will just enjoy the fact that they are out for me to look at and then I will probably pop them away safely to retain those glorious old hues of colour.
It is the Vintage Bazaar in Frome this coming Saturday 16th and I have my list and already have some things to pick up there already. I will grab my list today and make sure that there is everything on there that I am looking for ... try to be good and fail bitterly about sticking to it. This is one of my most favourite fairs, with a great atmosphere and with incredible stalls so what is a girl to do !! and if there is paisley and some vintage threads ...... well I will be undone. It is also a chance to meet up with some of my lovely vintage loving friends. I will of course be reporting on it the following week so watch this space. I have seen some stunning photos of who and what is going to be there, be still my beating heart......
Well today I am going to make it short because I have an awful lot of catching up to do so I will see you back here tomorrow bright and early....
Happy Stitching!
I think what you need is one of those display tables with a glass lift up lid........
