For the Shabby Chic Romantics

On the weekend I have been busy

making more items for

my Etsy shop.

Firstly

this little fabric journal featuring a favourite

pre-raphaelite print adorned with

printed silk, dyed doilies and laces.

The edges of the felted pages have been embellished

with more vintage laces and silk.

And secondly,

is another needlekeep

(or for that matter, a small booklet

with plain felted pages which could be used to

store photos or scrap booking ephemera).

Detail of closure shown here and

back page.

These items will appear in my Etsy shop as soon as I

can organize this.

For all of you who just can't go past beautiful old lace

I thought I would show you some that I

purchased at a local Flea Market

on the weekend.

Most of the lace shown in these images has been completely
hand made, crocheted or tattered.
I purchased them from a woman who used to make
period costumes
so she was very pleased to see them being used for keepsake items!

Wishing you all a wonderfully productive week

of creativity as well as some fun in the sun!!

Love to you all, Suzy xxx
