sometimes the sweetest finds are enroute
to somewhere else.
perusing through an antique shop today
I came upon a pretty trio
of shears.
sharpened and with proper markings
on the blades
cutting cloth like it was butter.
mighty sweet
and all for under thirty dollars.
ready for honest work.
oooo WANT!
ReplyDeleteI hope and am working on snagging some more...maybe want will turn into have!
Deletewill you save me a pair, please?
ReplyDeletesee you in a few weeks!
DeleteOh wow! That was a serendipitous find! Nice to press such wonderfully made old tools back into work.
ReplyDeleteso true, Manise and you never know where things turn up.
DeleteAren't they an elegant and useful trio! Such a great find.
ReplyDeletethey are actually meant for bonsai work but I aim to adjust that thinking!
Delete...that was my thought when I first looked at the picture ... Japanese style horticultural tools. ... cotton/silk "dotted swiss" should be a lovely summer top :o) ~ m.
DeleteThere is nothing nicer than good, sharp, comfortable scissors. So what are you going to cut out and make?
ReplyDeleteI am making some simple(emphasis on simple)summer tops for starters with the lightweight cotton/silk fabric, sweet litle dots all through it.
