Work of a busy spider - does she want to catch some insect?
I amsure it is a she...
See our rusted gate - that's why we call the farmhouse a villa

The bag:
As it was before - lying about
as it is now around my hip or on the shoulder
It accompanied me to the vide-grenier - fleamarket - marché aux puces
and there not only old rubbish but also goodies to eat

| Sausages on the vide-grenier |
And then my true find - lovely old lace - for near to nothing
This one is tatted - old but without any flaw.

I am not sure how the left one was made
it it so delicate and fine

How long a young lady or a woman sat to make it -
so many years ago - and I get it for 1 (one) Euro!
More lace - can you hear my scream of delight, Karen?
And then the souvenir of Hvar, Croatia, with
daughter - granddaughter - and happy grandparents
Meanwhile I washed and damp stretched the pieces
of lace - and they came out wonderfully.
Now, what to do with them - just look at them?
I will certainly keep the tatted girdle-like one complete
as it is.
