magazine, my own collection is shown on the
last photo. I'm sorry for this deceptive post.)

ReplyDeleteA brush collection, how nice!
ReplyDeleteI love the horse clothes brushes. What a fun group of brush photos. My paint brushes are kept far too poorly to look so nice in photos. xoxo
ReplyDeleteVery nice set of photographs...Renilde: I think I may have lucked out & scored one of your pincushions! I'll hopefully find out tomorrow!
ReplyDeletexoxo
what an abundance of beautiful brushes...
ReplyDeleteIk heb die selvedge ook een tijdje opengelegd op mijn boekenstandaard (van Dille & Kamille), ik vond ze zo fascinerend! Mijn hart bonkt sneller bij de chinese handborstel omwille van de kleuren en het ritme in de binding.Dagelijkse dingen die met liefde zijn gemaakt. De 4e van links uit jouw collectie is ook prachtig.
ReplyDeleteIn the first years of my childhood I grew up beside a boutigue where the man made his own brushes. So I totally understand your love for brushes.
ReplyDeleteoh its divine! this post moves me :}

ReplyDeleteBeter laat dan nooit: aangezien ik een groot zwak heb voor werktuigen vind ik deze post fantastisch. Prachtige verzamelingen om naar te kijken! Ook jouw collectie is heel sfeervol.
