Bird and Bear


I'm a bit of a hoarder if the truth be known, I keep things just in case, I'm mean, you never know, we might need them one day...
I have a chest full of vintage linen, passed down by my French mother-in-law and many a doily, cushion cover, tea towel, napkin picked up at jumble sales, charity shops and flea markets.
I wish I had the time and patience to hand-embroider and reappropriate them as beautifully as Brooklyn artist Joetta Maue.
