So ... since my next project du jour involves quilting my ginger scrappy quilt, and worse yet ... writing the pattern ... I needed some distraction, if just for a moment. Here is a little
trio of treasures that sits atop the tower o'thread in my sewing room. The picture with the green frame is from my childhood home. I brought it home to live with me after both my parents were gone. The worst part is that I don't exactly remember where it was hung when I was a kid.
How bad am I? The plate is something I picked up at an antique store several years ago, but I like to pretend that it's a picture of the street I live on ... now.
Ummm ....
let's just say that it is.
This little tin with sweet birds on it was purchased just a couple of weeks ago. But get this! It is meant to hold string. You
know I love string!
I use a lot of string, so of course the purchase was a valid one. And, it's from England.
I'm from England!
(Well, my grandfather was.) I also believe that it truly is old. (
I'm old! How eerie
is this?)
So ... does anyone have an idea just how old it is? And ...
Is there anyone out there who actually enjoys the pattern-writing part?
