Something old, something new,
something borrowed, something blue,
and a silver sixpence in her shoe.
No, nobody is getting married.
I just like the meaning of this old saying.
"Something old" - an old item is symbolic of a continuity with the family and the past.
"Something new" - the new represents good luck, success and hopes for a bright future.
"Something borrowed" - is an item borrowed from a dear happily married friend.
"Something blue" - blue is the symbol of faithfulness, love and loyalty.
All very nice and can be representative in other areas of our lives. Not just when somebody is getting married.
The combination of an old, partly blue quilt, a new zink vase and some "borrowed" white tulips came to represent the old Victorian saying.
I also love the faded blue colour and the stiching in this old quilt.
The beauty of something loved and well used.
Have a lovely weekend!
xoxo Ingrid

Tulpaner är alltid något positivt, men här var duken väl så fin. Snygg sömnad! Ha en bra helg!
Vissa bilder triggar mig mer än andra.
Den där översta bilden får igång tanken i mig. Hur skulle jag? Hm, placerat krukan aningen närmare mig, så de blå linjerna träffat varandra.

Jag älskar detta att blanda gammalt med nytt - det nya lyfter fram det gamla och vice versa. Det bästa av två världar helt enkelt.

Underbart ljuvliga bilder & arrangemang!!
Ditt paket på väg (om det inte redan anlänt?!)!;-) Grattis än en gång!
(I missed this, I'm sorry, Ingrid.)
I love the old quilt – it is such a charming touch and so instantly nostalgic! To answer your question, I use a lot of large sized handmade papers as backdrops. I do sometimes use fabric but it's so fiddly with wrinkles. I'm on the hunt right now for good surfaces like marble and old wood. :) Have a great week. xo – g
