Those ruffles from yesterday?
A corner view of the most swoon-inducing pile of old French stencils.
A few brass, but mostly zinc.
Well worn. Well used. Layer upon grotty peely chippy painty layer.
Utter fabulousness in terms of fonts and styles and heart-twanging serifs.
What letter is imprinted on your heart of hearts?
I thought those looked like stencils ... unfortunately I was a wee bit stressed and commenting...or anything else that required coherency ...was out of the question.
Love that 5 !

Oh yes! They are beautiful! Well, of course, it's the numbers that make my heart flutter. I agree that the 5 is special and I bet the 2 is as well! :)

I'm partial to the W for some reason. Oh yes, my last name does begin that way so that could explain it.

The letter imprinted on my heart is "I" for Iris, my grand daughter.

What a fun treasure. I would have to say that I am partial to the "D" for Danielle.
