~ lace fleur coat of arms

 

finally finished the cover of the first journal dedicated to the development of ideas, rather than a compilation of writings

 

I really love the {personal}coat of arms with a trio of lace roses, & the little tag with a gold embroidered bloom to match the gold foiling on the cookbook

binding it in this style nearly gave me a heart attack :) {incredibly stressful but rather illuminating!}

 

{my three favourite things right now,

black cotton, vocabulary tape & black lace tape!}

layering thoughts,
{embroidering dreams!}

treasured notions for you,

 

{& part of a hand I almost used from our Irish family coat of arms

 

billowing hearts!
