broderie anglais


An artist who exhibits in the art gallery I work in, kindly gave me a selection of beautiful vintage broderie anglais, lace and buttons.There are some lovely pieces, like these lace daisy chains.


I love the colours of these old buttons, slightly worn and faded, just the way I like them.
I've used some of the pieces of broderie anglais to decorate my found & sewn blog cards. A little reminder of my work.
