Hi Dear Folk,
The weekend is winding down, lots of fog and rain, everything is very soggy. I feel a bit at sea on the creative front. I made a broach, I already had the little needlepoint given to me with other odds and ends. It was fun to do a little hand stitching.
I found the little Sylko drawer box in Clare, Suffolk on one of my forays out with sis.
For the picture I made a felt frame and put a pin on the back.
Enjoying my flowers. Look at these deep purple calla lilies, you can hardly believe a flower can be that deep a purple colour, almost black.
As it was raining Mr. B. didn't have to work so we went out to a couple of thrifts, he found a very swanky pair of Italian dress shoes in leather and canvas, I came out with an old Italian cameo broach, some Polish plates, that match the Polish pottery I bought in Cape Ann, same pattern and a lovely modern cut lace and silk table cloth, you might call it Battenburg lace, it would look great with the Old Country Rose china.
The cameo can be worn on a chain or as a broach. It has beautiful detail.

I LOVE the Sylko drawer box, such a great find. The brooch is adorable, a lovely make. Great finds.
ReplyDeleteThe drawer box is fabulous! And, nice job on the brooch - very pretty. Your cameo reminds me that I have several from my mother-in-law (her husband brought back several from overseas during the war).
ReplyDeleteI meant to add, your (very) deep purple calla lily is gorgeous - reminds me of the "black" tulips which are really just an extremely dark, dark purple.
