This is an idea I had for a friend of mine,
Vicki, who is turning 60
and
as she has a beautiful collection of vintage brooches
I thought this would be a neat idea for displaying them
and
I just happen to know that she would really would love one of these anyway!!!!
I couldn't think of anything richer than black velvet on which to
display them all.
Some cotton coffee dyed lace and braid!
embellished with lace and buttons!
A special thankyou to all my new followers
and
to every dear blogging friend
who has left a comment!
It is truely appreciated!
and
I wish for you all a really peaceful weekend
sparing just a precious kind and loving thought for everyone who has been so affected by the earthquake in
Japan.
xx Suzy

Oh, Suzy!!! Beautiful! Elegant! And what a wonderful way to display them instead of hiding them away in a jewelry box!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Diane
Such a thoughtful gift for a friend. I can see this being used as a wall hanging also. All women love their jewelry.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful gift. Your friend will love it.
ReplyDeleteSuzy, That's a fantastic gift and just perfect to display vintage brooches. Your friend will be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend!
Warm wishes and hugs to you,
Julia
HI Suzi. Thanks for your comment!! I'm in awe at your work. To me knitting is part of life as my Nana and Mum were teaching me to knit before I could tie my shoe laces!! But your creativity with these projects is totally new to me, I've never seen anything like it! Well Done. It all looks stunning.
ReplyDeleteTake Care. X
your heart offerings just amaze me suzy~ what a thoughtful and most elegant gift as this brooche banner is, which seems fit for a queen turning 60! it would be wonderful to see it again once it is decorated with all of her treasured pieces! what a beautiful friend you are~
ReplyDeletewarm love to you!

Thay is positively gorgeous, Suzi! She is going to be thrilled! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous gift, The lace and velvet give it such an elegant look.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!! Displaying her pretty brooches where she can see them every day, rather than having them languishing in a box somewhere, has to be great. I rather think this idea would certainly make a marketable pattern!!
ReplyDeleteOh Suzi, She will love it!!!! It is exquisite!!!
ReplyDeleteXO
