A Tranquil Moment This Weekend

I was fortunate to find this very delicate tatted doily at the thrift store this winter.  A wee bit boring in white, so I dipped it into the dye pot when I was doing a batch of turquoise bits and pieces.  I pulled it out of the box many times searching for other pieces but never really had a light bulb moment until I came across this double swan broach in a box of junk jewelry .... well a picture speaks a thousand words ..... and another productive weekend in the sewing room.
