A Bright Bouquet on a Grey, Overcast Day
At Christmas, a very dear friend of mine, who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions in beautiful tins.
Amongst the gifts were some Polish crocheted flowers, some hand woven daisies and some Estonian and Latvian hand dyed lace blooms and butterflies. I have placed them on a black background to give the impression of traditional Eastern European folk art, which I also thinks highlights the delicate beauty and bright colour of the lace from these countries. I thought these made a nice image to share on what has been a very cold, grey and wintery day here!
