my love affair with lace pincushions *sigh*

Over the years I have come across various beautiful antique lace.

pincushions and, if the price was right (and sometimes when it wasn't)...

I always brought them home with me.

Something about their intricate, delicate beauty.

simply speaks to me and touches my heart.

The fact that something so utilitarian would be.

made into something so gorgeous.

proves to me we are not the only ones with vision, talent, and creativity.

Except they had so many fewer materials and products.

to work with.....they were truly artists.

All are absolutely beautiful.

Thank you for stopping by today,

you know I love it when you come.

Also, please know, that if you choose to follow me....

I always follow back :)

we share the preciousness of pink.
