Holiday finds.
If you read my Mouse House blog you will see that I have been on holiday to the beautiful island of Madeira.
Stunning scenery.
Pretty churches. A real delight!
Crochet is sold all over the island but my favourite are these exquisite pieces found at a local car boot sale.
The lady explained to me that they had been made to be stitched on to a towel. The work is so fine it must be worked on the tiniest hook. Really beautiful! I am going to use them in my work somehow.
On another stall were these ancient keys, at one euro each I couldn't resist. It would be interesting to know there history.
and finally this piece, I don't know what it is, maybe a stand for a small iron. Anyway the stall holder gave this to me for free. I can see this as a Gothic arch somewhere.
I could have bought much more but funds and baggage allowances have to be considered.
Now it's back to work before the magazine article comes out in a couple of weeks time.
Happy creating,
