hooks and needles

 Today I'll show you, some special photos that I shot in the summer, of a small treasure to me!
 Once I had it in my hands, I was super excited to open up this little box and find those beautiful vintage hooks! Our aunt hand it down to us and unfortunately I had to share with Panagiota... :P   


I have some other old ones from my godmother, but I love the colors and the vintage aesthetic of these! Do you own any vintage crochet hooks?

cuff cuff

While we were trying some new designs last spring, we came up with these lacy cuffs,,, we found out that you can spice up every boring outfit with them or just let them be some interesting bracelets. enjoy:













 Also an interesting outcome comes of them combined! All are buttoned up with a gold vintage nautical button. I have scored and bought those buttons while thrifting last year (I adore) and haven't count yet how many of them are left! What do you think?
