travelin' case

I ventured to the Wychwood Barns vintage market yesterday afternoon and accumulated a few lovely little treasures - this amazing old leather traveling case in mint condition with decal and keys to fit.  Also copious amounts of lace and ribbon on offer so I thought I'd show you some of the other little gems I picked up in a grab bag.

workshop weakness....

I've been madly puttering away at things over the past few days, my workshop/livingroom might look like this...

but...

 I've managed to finally open my Etsy shop, la plume de ma tante, of course.  I'll be listing my designs and vintage wares slowly but surely over the next few weeks.  It seems that my necklaces have been moved to the front burner over the last bit but rest assured I'll also be paying some keen attention to some other delightful vintage finds.

Lace and ribbons...the key to my curiosity

 I've been busy working away at these.  Thought I'd put up a few more examples.
