I was out on #caturday to give a talk at the DAR in #NorthamptonMA but my friend brought this ADORABLE tin of cookies and I have become obsessed with it. I drove to #ConcordMA today to get it where she found it.
Of course I had to check out the antique stores too and the #lace gems that nobody cares about in the linen boxes.... A lovely #needlelace and a #crochet lace for almost nothing....
Thanks to the handy woodworker types for giving me the confidence to get this into the house! The newly adopted free trash-picked table is in.
Now the real question is: the linen square, the German stars cutwork table runner, or the Armenian needle lace circle....?
Photo shown of me getting the vintage table through my vintage doorway once the leaves were off and it was transportable.
One leaf is not on yet, but will eventually get on there.
Jetzt ist es verschenkt, jetzt kann ich damit angeben π. Das waren ein paar schΓΆne Stunden Arbeit, aber ich lieb's sehr
