Someone's hands wound these threads onto handmade cardboard squares....or around paper scraps....the colors are mostly neutrals....natural browns, taupe, cream or green....
There is something so soothing and comforting about these seemingly benign objects....
Is it the thought of the warm and weathered hands of my Nana working with her needle and thread?
Loving the script of the old letter re-purposed to keep the tangled threads in order....
How can something so utilitarian, so simple.... be so utterly beautiful?
I wish you all a calm and peaceful evening....
I hope these images bring a certain peace to you as they have to me......

Lovely images! Such peaceful colours.
The thread is very calming...life in this world just 50...or 52 years ago seems it was a different time...a time that will never come back! As farms and farmland make way for housing developments with no yard or trees!
The last of the cool roadside barns are falling down!
Your blog and pictures are a comfort....thank you!
Blessings,

PS Did you get a chance to see Notting Hill again?
How sweet! One can never have enough, it makes my heart go pit-pat!
Neat! And yes they did :) Pretty colors.
All the best,

This is what i love about blog land.
It has helped me see the beauty in such simple things, and think about the people who did them.
Thank you for sharing.

Simple, comforting, lovely. I could stare at these items for hours.
these photos are glorious! I would love to see them larger and framed! I even have the perfect room for them.
before the days of TV and computers I'm sure.
I'm always drawn to sewing things, though I barely sew ~ curtains and pillows at best.:)
So simple and pretty!
You make everything look beautiful!

My exact feelings when I look into my mother's old sewing basket. Absolute treasures from days gone by. Love your photos. Sharon
wonderful colours! These ribbons and threads are soooo beautiful. I also have a lot of these old ribbons. I use old ribbons for my selfmade bears as accessoires! Thank you so much for all your dear comments, Mira :0)
