Brocante Finds

I am always on the hunt to find lace...

and French Brocante markets are the perfect places 

to find handmade ones.

This one is a long pillow case with small buttons at the back

and lace at the sides to pull ribbon through.

I love the initials E.R.

Crisp linen and cotton stacks of napkins with  

hand embroidered initials

I just can not resist...

I found this cute baby bib and bonnet.

The icing on the cake is this pretty cover...

it is about two meters long and one meter wide.

The lady explained that this kind of embroidery was used for 

the bride's new home.

A few meters of grey and yellow trim...

I have no idea on what to use it 

but for 2 Euro's I couldn't leave it.

Pretty blue and white napkins can be transformed 

into cushions...

Last but not least this lovely curtain.

What will I do with all my finds was asked 

many times...

I won't cut them up, I will just keep them

tucked away and once in a while take them out 

and admire all the hard work someone's hands has put into them.

I hope you have a lovely week.
