Vintage threads in a beautiful shade of cream
I placed them in a chippy bowl I've had since forever

I remember my Mom having balls of that string. I think she used hers for tatting. xo Diana

Hope your weekend is fabulous, too!

yes, my Grandma also used this for tatting. Wish that I'd had her teach me! I've tried but my knots knot rather than slide! Happy Labor Day weekend to you.

Hi Abby,
It looks so nice in the bowl.
I look for the vintage thread to crochet with. I have 7 skeins of Lilly brand size 20 thread that I came across for a song. I get all excited over crochet thread. {giggles}
Have a wonderful weekend,

Isn't it amazing what memories are evoked by a simple picture of crochet thread! I have visions of my Grandma crocheting beautiful and delicate pieces for her dressing table where lovely little china dishes with roses on them would sit alongside matching candleholders. Thanks for that Abby!
Very pretty Abby. Happy weekend to you too.
hugs

I remember those label's (sad huh)...my mother used these...have a wonderful weekend
Abby, they are so beautiful-love the dirty rustet color-and the great bowl they are in-looks beautiful.

Abby, you've created such a lovely vignette with your threads... I run across those once in a while and don't buy them because I don't know how I'd display them; thanks for the inspiration! :)
Love your photos. How creative to use old vintage thread in a rustic bowl. The lighting is perfect.
Love, Jody

What great thread, Abby. Those labels are terrific, and they look perfect on your old bowl - full of texture.
Love your paper doll ladies in the previous post, too. Such detail in their attire! And what a posh shoebox townhouse.
I'm always inspired here...

What a beautiful picture!!! Love crochet threads!! I found 12 balls in an antique store for $2.00 for all!!! Couldn't pass it up, especially with the pastel colors included! But I also have about 4 shades of off white and I may just have to "borrow" your lovely idea!!! You are such an inspiration!!!
Hugs,
Teri
Oh, those are so pretty! I saw a bag of tiny little pastel colored thread balls at the antique store today and I wanted it sooo bad, but they wanted twenty dollars for them!
Gorgeous..just the perfect shade!

I found you at my friend Karen Valentines blog & stopped for a visit. STUNNING PHOTOS! And I love your finds... The colors are lucious!

I love how you took these very simple objects, and turned them into a beautiful vignette.
That really looks so pretty! I would never have even thought of creating something like that. You have a good eye for decorating!
Best wishes,

Love the simplicity of the thread in the container, beautiful!

Such simple things always make the best vignettes I think... your photos of this 'score' are just beautiful.

Simply beautiful, Abby. I think it's almost time for me to get my yarn/twine balls out for the cozy season coming up. :) Thanks for the inspiration!
