Tribute to our grannies
A week ago I came back from Normandy where I was invited to exhibit in a lovely village of Normandy. The event was organised by a local handicraft workshop team, and taking place in a lovely old house. It was divided in 4 parts : exhibitors selling handicrafts , exhibition of the Club's work, embroidery workshops, and a tribute to our grand-mothers. I let you imagine the huge amount of work that is behind it !
The organisation team
This is the work of one woman : she spent over 1800 hours over it. All crossed stitched flower.

Merci!
Oh, so many beautiful things to admire!
The chest of drawers, for example, is by itself a work of great craftmanship, and then the items in those drawers, amazing.
Thank you for sharing these treasures with us!
I am working to get a post up about hand-painted eggs I saw the other day at an Easter Market here.
Joyeuses Pâques !!
Hi Violette!
What a great post!!I love the images. And such beautiful work made of very talented woman. I know how many hours it takes to make special products with lots of charm, so I admire these woman very very much. And you my dear are one of them!
I hope you will get a delightful weekend,
Joyeuses Pâques!!
Warm greeting and hug from your longtime blogfriend Aina :)
Could you do me a favor??!
Today I bought my ever first Zakka book Violette!
Written by Therese Laskey. They are not very easy to find here in Norway. I would love to be given a few good tips about zakka books. Could you send me a list with zakka books that fits my style? Pure Linen, naturell, white and easy...
I would be very happy!!!
Then maybe I could find the ISBN number and order from the books store.
I hope you are okey, that the business gives you energy, joy and lots of creativity.
Take care!!
Friendly hug, Aina
