Old, a little stained, yet oh-so-beautiful ~

These little items would normally be forgotten ~
maybe tossed into a drawer or even the trash.

They are old, stained and don't seem
to have a specific purpose anymore.

Fragments of lace....old thread that has age speckles from the years ~
odd lengths of trims left over from a previous project.

That's no matter though, right??
For me they have a beautiful purpose.
They make me smile and
truly inspire my creative spirit!!!!!

A few found treasures at Antique Griffin today!










Even the gorgeous old labels make me swoon :)

I hope you are having a beautiful December weekend,
hugs and love,
Dawn

Dawn, I am CERTAIN that you will find some very wonderful, creative things to do with your "trash to treasure" items.
You always do.

Oh yes- those are the pretty little and simple things that I love, too. Especially the German label.

Now those are my kind of stocking stuffers! Love every faded tattered bit. Glad you had a bit of time to hunt up some goodies, I am so missing my little flea market jaunts, maybe after Christmas. As always thanks for sharing a bit of visual beauty. Have a great week!

Love, love, love it all! This is exactly the kind of thing I go for myself. I imagine the sewing box it came from and the woman who owned it just wonder about what she made - her art. Great finds!
