{So good to hear lots of feedback on my last post. It is so true that technology is slowly taking over our lives and nice to touch base and get back to basics every now and then. I really do admire all of you Mum’s who are employed outside of the home – whether it be full-time or part-time. It must be tough only having limited time at home to fulfill the same “to-do” lists as work-at-home or stay-at-home Mums. What ever you need to say sane and rejuvenate – do what you can to make it happen. Happy Mum’s and wives need time out too.}
A while ago, I started obsessing over old vintage wooden spools of thread. They inspire me. I love the wonder behind them…who did they belong to? What have they sewn? Where did they come from? Like anything old, I’m sure they would have a great story to tell.
I bought a few sets off ebay – they came from the UK, which was a treat in itself. And I had a few lovely friends answer my plea via my Facebook page and send me more to add to the collection.
And here you have it, my treasured wooden spool collection. I started building towers to photograph this morning, then the kids got interested and I let them do the building while I did the snapping. Love it! What are you obsessing over this weekend? Besides chocolate, of course 😉
