My reward for finishing the latest novel for work was collecting some vintage ephemera for a couple of projects. This lovely old velvet drawstring reticule has cut steel beading, which dates it to maybe the turn of the 20th century; I've seen similar reticules dated to 1910. I may actually do nothing but treasure this piece because it's so gorgeous.
This adorable mushroom ornament was crafted from an old crazy quilt patch, beads and a cinnamon stick as a stem.
I've got a nice pile of vintage bits and bobs to play around with; maybe for a shadow box-type project.
Also a nice mini collection of old clothespins. Stay tuned to see what I make out of all this.
