Milly-la-Forêt

This weekend was a pottery fair at Milly-la-Forêt, the "capital" of medicinal and aromatic herbs and home to Jean Cocteau.

This market hall was built in the XV century!



Pretty plant hanger by atelier "La Salamandre"

Is this becoming a tradition? For my wedding I got couple pillows and that is what I offer newlyweds ever since.
This was the tester, but since I went with unbleached linen instead of the white one, I felt like linen mouliné was better than cotton, but surprise surprise, DMC discontinued their line of linen mouliné and I had to do with the leftovers in the shop.

Actually, linen thread is difficult to work with. It's delicate, uneven and brittle, so trust me, you wont miss it.


The heart is done in "french knots", kind of metaphoric =)


I also did a little bit of thread doodling on the bride's dress, so I hope I'll have some photos to show soon.
