Vintage buttons

Loving my vintage buttons...

Fascinating to think that thousands of years ago people already used buttons.

Talking about vintage! ;-)

Weekend snapshots

Both the teacup and the plaid with the green flowers
(of which just a snippet is visible) are thrifted.
The first in The Netherlands, the second in India.

 Oh yes... Pompons...

 A thrifted footstool with crocheted cover...

Crochet project in the making...

Ribbons

Some of these ribbons
I bought here, The Netherlands.

But most of them
are souvenirs from travelling.

The hardships of Cruelty-Free Living (Haha)

So, it has been quiet on my blog.
I just got back from a short trip to vegan heaven, better known as NYC.
(They don't call it The Big Apple for nothing, right?)
Of course I stocked up heavily on vegan goodness.

In this case: the marshmallows of Sweet & Sara.
This afternoon I indulged in hot chocolate made with almond milk,
topped with toasted coconut & vanilla marshmallows.
Great recipe to get rid of any jetlag.

Oh yes, I forget, if you're not veg*n, you might be wondering:
vegan marshmallows?
Yeah... because other marshmallows always contain gelatin,
made from the bones of animals.
Yes. Ugh. Indeed.


PS.
Can I just add this pastel doily 'thing' is getting out of control?
;-)

Weekend!

World Animal Day

Please consider going vegetarian/vegan - thank you!

Vintage Embroidery Love from Laos

As mentioned before on this blog, here at ByHaafner we love travelling
And love surrounding ourselves by memories of those travels.
Bringing travel home, as it were.

We brought this second hand collar back from Laos.
The colours are gorgeous,
as is the design, with its geometric motives, the birds and the flowers.

Soon on this blog: more beautiful textiles from South East Asia!
