Second Time Around Tuesday

This is second time around Tuesday. Thanks to diane at
A Picture is Worth a Thousdand Words, for hosting this nice event.
Be sure to thank her and see the other wonderful posts.

This is a vintage doily, one of several i have picked up.
This is another lovely piece.

Some of these are nice enough to use just the way they are, but alas, some have huge holes, big stains, or other flaws that take away from their overall beauty.

So, those bits that are still good are made into other things.
Like little sachets.
I just cut a piece of the doily where there is lovely stitching, not too damaged from years of wear, and sew it to a piece of backing from another place on the doily.

Leave a little slot for putting the lavender in, sew closed, add a ribbon to hang, and there you go.
A cute little sachet out of something old and worn.

So even the smallest bit of someones beautiful stitching can be preserved and enjoyed by someone new.

Blessings on your day.
