no new art work but...

a glimpse of my new collection of old wooden cotton reels!


I think I could re-use them, I have embroidery cottons I could wind onto them!







And amongst this collection is a card of fine thread
for mending stockings and "all kinds of hosiery"




And what about this! A card of fine Irish Flax Fishing Line!
"Not a kink in a mile - not a fish lost in a season!"



More distractions!

ooooo Carole, your wooden spools make me drool (sorry ;) such a beautiful slice from the past, they certainly do not make them like that anymore! I adore vintage sewing bits!
