... antique make-do pincushions!
This lovely piece was a recent find. I couldn't believe my luck when I saw it. The colors were perfect for me!
I'm either going to have to find more displays for my collection or sell some off .... I vote for more shelves! :)

Have you ever watched Lark Rise to Candleford? Dorcas Lane, who lives in Candleford, loves simple joys (and some not-so-simple) and states each time she indulges that it's her "one weakness". If you enjoy period movies, I'm sure you will love this series that my friend, Suzanne (Pear Tree Primitives / Painter of the Past) suggested to me.
Oh, and period movies? They are my one weakness. ;)

Thanks for dropping by today.
Take Care and God Bless,

Thanks Tina! If you put the word make-do in the search box here on my blog (top left corner) you will see a few more posts about make-do pincushions. Also, visit the pincushions page of my website and you will see a couple photos of part of my collection.

Had to laugh reading that. I recognized the line from Lark Rise to Candleford! I vote for more shelves too!
ReplyDeleteHow very simple but yet so very elegant. That one is definitely a keeper.

Oh, I was thinking Dorcas while I read this - I love her, and am a few episodes behind but I hope she finds a way to stop letting that man hurt her so much! I just wish I could write her a letter... must be a sign of a well-crafted story!

ReplyDeleteI love the sweet little pincushion.
I LOVE Larkrise to Candleford. I even have 'the cop' hooked. He sits there and watches it with me and then asks, 'What did that mean?'

Hi Lana, I love your aesthetic. You and I both have a thing for vintage books. Everything you make with your hands is so beautifully done.
