Look at these beautiful paper flowers by Mandy Pattullo of Thread and Thrift. Aren't they lovely? Made from old letters, crepe paper and pages from Tennyson's "In Memoriam", the flowers are part of a piece by Mandy titled "Remember Me". You can read more about this project on Mandy's blog here.

Hello there dear Sam, the flowers are lovely and I can imagine how beautiful they would be if the pages were image transferred onto fabric then stitched....
How are things going? missing my swedish sisters! and now wishing that I was going to France with you all!

yummy yummy yummy!!!!!
I, too, wish I was going to be in France with you in September.....
hmmmm, maybe Danielle and I need to "re-think" things....
gotta go to work and then make some of these flowers when I get home.
Love the idea of stitching them to fabric, Danielle.....
Love to you, dear Sam!

I love your idea to transfer the image of the old pages to fabric Danielle! Might have to get some fabric printing hints from Becky and give it a go. So sad to hear you won't be in France with us :( Did your plan fall through?

Yes Jone, definitely time for a rethink! Hope you can make it for a visit to Malmö this summer, if not France?
