...on a recent little get-a-way...
...I found a box of a dozen balls of vintage crochet thread...
...I just love the wonderful soft tones...
...of course individual spools of a fuzzy thread...
...all tied together with a vintage taupe ribbon...
...had to be added to my collection...
...then I found this delightful little book...
...dated 1906...
...the year of my father's birth...
...luckily everything fit into a very large glass vase...
...in this day and age...
...are there any famous orations any more...
...included in this book is one that was given honoring the life of Queen Victoria...
...delivered about two weeks after her death...
...the editor's name is quite familiar...
...and he has quite an interesting history...
...I love the images through the glass vase...
...I love the geometry of the winding thread...
...so...
...a collage was created...
...to represent the soft tones and detail...
...of my new white collection...
...I just had to post it on Flickr...
