How to Interest a Reluctant Man in Shopping for Vintage

Mr. Tialys was very taken with some of  my vintage French linen discoveries at the vide grenier on Sunday.

I wonder why.

(Perhaps he thought I might actually do some housework)

Thread Spools

I found these lovely old French thread spools at a flea market the other day.  I found the tin in a modern shop but liked the vintage look of it. 

Some Vintage, Some Modern

Also I found some really heavyweight old linen tea towels which are monogrammed – you can seem them in the background.  I can’t decide whether to keep them and, if I do, whether to use them to make something or keep them as they are.  Decisions, decisions.
