My mother-in-law stopped over last night for a visit, and shared a whole box full of old photos of Jeff, his brother, and family. We all sat around the table and enforced a continuous passing of pictures from one to the other, all of us anxious to see and hold the source of each awwwe or giggle. She also brought me these gorgeous linen hankies that were made by Jeff's great grandmother, each either tatted or crocheted by her. In resilient condition despite their delicate nature. I feel so honored to have them in my care, and hope to keep them (and be) as resilient.
My trip to Colorado was so, so enjoyable. It was a packed schedule, but packed with utterly kind and creative individuals that left me feeling refreshed and inspired. I have a load of photos over here in case ya wanna see. And also CONGRATULATIONS to Lisa Lee Bishop who won my Friday giveaway from last week! A bit of a late posting here, sorry! But email us to claim your loot lady!
good wednesday. xoam
(I feel fall creeping in. Barely)
What beautiful edging on the hankies. I always love these examples of domestic creativity!!
ReplyDeleteFall, creeping in?
ReplyDeleteGoodness. If we could have a long school break, from October through December... oh, that would be marvelous. Except for sending children back to school, I could gladly welcome some fall into our lives.
How pretty. You know, your #8 pearl cotton would be perfect for projects like that :)
ReplyDeleteShin ae, yes I do! Firsthand :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. It's wonderful that they're still in such lovely condition.
ReplyDeleteAnd, here in SC we're feeling the cool down too. THANK GOODNESS!
I'm so glad you said that! I've been telling people I feel the shift toward fall and they're gawking at me. Validation! Lovely crochets!
ReplyDeleteTotal treasure Anna Maria.
ReplyDeleteI have a piece of "Irish lace"-(more like crochet)- that I haven't used. I haven't found anything special enough to add it to- maybe a hankie would be the perfect thing.
Beautiful hankies. What a fsmily treasure.
ReplyDeleteNot feeling the fall shift in Spokane yet -- but if it means more sewing time, I'm willing to pretend! Can't wait to try out that feather pattern!
ReplyDeleteLook at the workmanship in those! So beautiful. I can just imagine Jeff's great-grandma working on them.
ReplyDeleteI was in Colorado about 35 years ago, with my brother. I remember thinking it was one of the most beautiful places I'd ever seen!
Excellent weblog, many thanks a lot for your awesome posts!
