'If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.'
- Poem by Emily Dickinson
Isn't that what angels are to us, helping hands?
Today two projects. A card and an altered chocolate box.
With yummy laces and sweet angels. The box I covered with an very old doily which belonged to my great-great-grandmother (is that English?), the grandmother of my grandfather so to speak.
And added some other laces and embellishments, and some small beads. I wanted the old doily to show, so I didn't want too much embellishing going on.
One of the laces on the outside of the box (along the edge) is a present I got from dear Ros. She has spoiled me with a sweet and beautiful card plus a lot of extras, which I will show you another time. Thank you sweetie!!

Inside the box I covered with lace fabric, laces, an angel stamp and music. For angels sing, don't they.

ReplyDeleteHey Wen, goed je weer terug te zien na een hopelijk heerlijke afwezigheid! Niet te geloven dat je zulk prachtig oud kant hebt, zoooooo mooi en teer, en al helemaal in combinatie met dat schattige LaBlanche engeltje! Je hebt ook van dat mooie warme rood gebruikt, voor de juiste vintage feel! Lieve groetjes, Ira
