Maybe some of you know that i use vintage fabrics in my work.
They are coming out of all the bags with textiles i inhereted from my deceased mum
It comforts me, that i can re-use all those beautiful fabrics and thread.
I know that she would like it...
Also started to use old furniture from our ancestral home that we should empty out.
We can bring it to thriftstores but somehow i inhereted the voice in my head of my father : -)
We had a large workshop behind the house,where he made everything.
From wooden lamps,furniture,leather bags etc.
My house is too small to store everything, that's why i'm thinking to re-style some issues.

    je bent aan het borduren met de naaimachine
    zo fijn om te doen
    en het ziet er fijn uit!

    (en ja, dat schrijftafeltje, van de eigenaren, heeft een glazenblad waaronder een strookje van het behang)

    I absolutely love the first piece, and hearing where the fabric comes from makes me love it more.
