From France With Love

Nuther little package from France this past week. I didn't even realize the item was coming from France until after I placed the order. Funny!

This one didn't arrive in quite as nice a condition as the spools but it was a charming parcel to receive in a rustic kind of way.

Thankfully these were wrapped ever so nicely in a hand made fabric bag or they might have fallen right out of the envelope.

Vintage skeleton keys are another recent fascination I've developed over the past year. They are such curious little things though.

I've seen these repurposed as place card holders which is a cute idea. I'm not sure what these will become at the moment. I guess I'll just contemplate them until an idea comes to me.

All the way From France: Vintage Spools

I received a most delicate little package this week that came all the way from France. A vanilla yellow envelope with some some light wrinkling and smelling of lavender graced my mailbox.

The unboxing was pure magic as this feather light bundle came wrapped ever so sweetly in a white, paper doily and some creamy antique lace.

Having also received a very fragrant package of lavender that day I had the best smelling mail in town! Oh my but how that charming fragrance contributed to the romance of it all.

Heavenly! I can't help but wonder what kinds of stories these little wooden spools have to tell. Who used them? What was she like? Did she have a good life?

Are you thinking Le Charmed Life yet? I'm not sure how I will use these but I know it will be nothing short of some fabulously tasty vintage style morsel.
