#sewing threads

Last week though, while my husband was away on a business trip for 5 days, I got around to collage a couple of frames I recently bought at a local 2nd hand store.

They turned out like this:

I liked how they turned out and so they got to move up on the livingroom wall

Last sunday a friend and I visited an outdoors flea market in the Stockholm city center, there I spotted a fairly large and old looking box filled with threads. Vintage sewing threads wrapped around paper… not sure what it’s called, thread cards perhaps?

So I picked three of these cards and asked for the price, and he quickly responded 40 SEK for the whole lot! (that’s like €4 or $4). But the box was too big AND falling apart, AND I wasn’t all that interested in the threads - I wanted the cards 😄 Of course I bought the whole box and today I rummaged through the whole thing, and now the thread cards are nearly gathered in an old tin sitting in my work space:

Finally I’ll mention that I never got back into my planner project… I haven’t given up on it entirely, but continue to print my daily notes and glue them to the planner pages. But I haven’t had the time or energy to collage those pages.
