MMP Friday Shopping Event Friday September 30, 2011 "Somewhere in Time"
How often do we find ourselves perusing discarded trinkets and treasures at yard sales and thrift shops only to ponder what it was "somewhere in time"...The three piece porcelain vanity set; did it once belong to a well to do lady who brought it with her from a trip abroad to Paris, France. It held the finest French perfume and softest talc. She holds her memories close to her heart.
The various pieces of bone china; if they could only talk! Would they tell us of grand dinners perhaps entertaining the local politicians or grandeur of the debutante ball and social teas? The set would be handed down from generation to generation, yet a stray broken or chipped piece is now made into a beautiful work of art, a broken china bracelet or brooch.
A delicate lace collar found deep inside a basket of frayed linens. This could have been adorned by a young lady held together by a sparkling rhinestone brooch. As they danced under the stars at the yacht club, did the stones in the brooch match her eyes as he gazed deeply into them?
Years ago at an early age, young ladies would be taught the fine art of embroidery which told the story of their life. These embroidered pieces have become very collectible and coveted today.As you are out looking for treasures, think of what it was "somewhere in time". What excites you in today's textiles and pieces of handmade creations? They will go on to tell the story somewhere in time.
