Summer has been keeping me occupied
and it still is. Many plans and projects have been left at a standstill, sometimes
deliberately, sometimes unintentionally, while something else has taken over. One
of the forgotten thoughts is my Handmade treasures series. I am reviving it in this post hoping to get it going on a
more regular basis now that we are heading towards autumn and even worse.
This treasure is my latest handmade
flea market find, a book jacket of linen with a light cotton lining and embroidered
rowan fruit on the cover. This is the kind of handicraft that could never pass
unnoticed by me. Every time I discover something like this I am amazed someone would want to get rid of such a delightful item. All the better for us who cannot get enough of them.
What a delightful find! Maybe in the long hours of the unwelcome period that you do not like to mention you could embroider one bookcover yourself?
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid that won't happen, at least not in the coming season. I'm one of those who find it hard to start with a handicrafts if there are hundreds of other things needing your attention more urgently.
DeleteIhanat pihlajanmarjakoristeiset kirjan suojakannet!!!!
ReplyDeleteÄlä muuta sano! Tämmöistä ei voisi ikimaailmassa jättää kirpparilta pelastamatta.
DeleteA beautiful find, I'm glad it has a new home where it will be treasured.

I'm so charmed by embroidery that I might actually try some myself one dark winter night.
DeleteNiin suloiset pihlajanmarjat!
ReplyDeleteTänä vuonna niitä ei olekaan juuri puissa nähty, ainakaan meillä.
DeleteWhat a beautiful find, I love the linen the embroidery was done on and the embroidery itself is lovely.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention that it is so timely.
