Has the simplest display, or maybe even a single item sitting in an antique booth chockful of "stuff" ever caught your eye?
You are instantly drawn to it... not quite sure why. Oh yes, we've all had those "oohhh" moments when something truly beautiful makes us stop in our tracks. But I'm not referring to those items, the obvious one. I'm referring to the ones that don't scream "look at me!"
That happened to me recently while visiting one of my favorite occasional sales at How Quaint, in Shakopee. I walked into a booth full of lovelies and spotted a bowl that contained these...
..simple little spools with unfinished pieces of lace/tatting wound around them...
I picked up each one gingerly...
attracted to their color, texture, even their smell
Of course, I had to buy them... and as soon as I got home, whipped out my camera and proceeded to take ((many)) photos...
...the tones of the spools look beautiful when paired with vintage millinery and silks...
And a few of my estate sales pieces also came out to join the photo shoot...
Once the photo shoot was done... they were put into a crystal bowl in The Sunshine Room... where they will sit for awhile until I decide if I (ever) want to unwind the pieces to see them in their entirety.
Thanks for letting me share my little spools!
(I'm also sharing with the White Wednesday party over at the Faded Charm)
What great little finds have you brought home recently?
