I love the old photo of the Victorian girl and her parasol... I have one just like it ...shown here... 
As i have mentioned in previous posts all my linens and old bedspreads are
from my Italian grandmother...
Today i had to drop off some donations to the local thrift store. While i was there
i thought i would have a look around. I came upon these beautiful old spools of thread.
I love the colours...
Now i will have to go back next week to see what treasures are lurking!
I'm joining in the fun at Sherry's No Minimalist Here's linky Open House Party!
Blue Creek Home for Treasure Hunt Thursday!!
And French Country Cottage for Feathered Nest Friday !
Come on over !
