appreciation of details

June 24th, 2009 · 2 Comments

i recently saw some wonderful fabrics on morgaine le fay’s antique textiles and more blog-and was reminded of some of my “old friends”.  as gardening and dogs are a personal passion-this is one of my all time favorites- the victorian square of a boy and his dog. it is circa late 1800, similar to “can you talk” from dr jaynes medicines trade cards. i also love the detail on this vintage silk embroidered piano scarf-the pagoda in the garden.

so many projects and so many marvelous distractions!

    Wonderful textiles!! And yes Lois at Morgaine le Fay has such great pieces too.

    I am so in love with your dogs!! I am guessing this is their daybed!!! If I come back as a dog, I want to live in your house.
