Vintage Lace and Linen in a Bag

I was thinking it might be time to create something

just a little different

using some

left over linen and laces combining them with

a beautiful old white cotton blouse

 to create this little bag to hold bits of ephemera,

laces, ribbons or whatever comes to mind!
Maybe even your secret dreams!

Isn't this such a pretty old piece of cut lace linen?

I had already used the other end of it on 

a journal page about a year ago.

 Somehow the addition of brown and black buttons

brings more vintage charm to these old

favourites!

 The back of the bag is made by combining

pieces into a crazy patchwork effect.

and more buttons on a rusty old safety pin

brings a bit of shabby charm

don't you think?

 and what better thing to create

with than those gorgeous little left over pieces

of precious lace?

- a tag to adorn this dear little image with!

Although we are about a month away from

the start of Winter here in Australia

I'm still picking these beautiful

blooms of "Just Joey"

to grace our kitchen window shelf with

and what a beautiful view it is from the kitchen window here

as the Autumn leaves rapidly fall and get blown away.

Did you know that Pink Roses represent
happiness, gentleness and sweetness?
May your days be filled with much of 
all of these!

I'm linking this post to Blissful Whites Wednesday!
