To help someone is a marvelous gift to give and can mean the world to the person you are helping whether the favor be big or small.....in gratitude i made a purse of Winter white.......
Lawn cotton, broderie anglaise and Lace stitched together from petticoats and dresses of Summers gone by....the lace loop to go over her wrist as she tip toes over her stream is a little tattered and torn just the way she likes her treasures.......a lace bow to tie and hold the things that are dear to her.......
She lives in a beautiful dreamy world of soft white but will always have a place for the blush of her love the Rose.....tucked in a lace pocket are tiny English dried roses for a sweet reminder of Summer......
Inside a tied bundle of old lace and a vintage bobbin of cotton to remind her of all the things she has created in white with her own hands that have brought joy to so many......
On the opposite page sits a carved wooden button of a Viola a beautiful wild flower to keep close her love of her wild flowers while they are sleeping through the Winter....a tiny white shell from a 'Sandy' beach......a crystal bead to remind her of the chandelier hanging over her bed in her studio and two button's from France,one is mother of pearl and the other is glass to show her love of shabby french decor....
In the center is a soft page made from an old faded quilt..........
Inside the pretty washed out pale blue pattern on the quilting will bring memories of her toile wall paper she hung in her pretty china cabinet and white paper roses for happy memories of winning Noel's giveaway......
Old pearl stamens that glisten and shine like her holiday decor.....needles
sew she can create...Pins to attach her beloved poetry and a safety pin to attach her thoughts to her haven from the outside world while she is away....
A purse full of memories all in white for a dear girl.......
Made with love and sent in friendship x.........
The End xxx

Thank you so much for the gift...definitely the most thoughtful one ever!

Just beautiful...
It is always fascinating how others can take discarded things and weave them with new life to serve another purpose.
