A softly gathered bundle of vintage textiles, haberdashery, and paper ephemera, composed in layered tones of teal, rose, cream, and faded violet.

This piece brings together a richly patterned aquatic-style cotton with smaller floral prints, paired with a delicate paper doily, a vintage birthday card with bluebirds, and a hand-painted floral paper sheet. Alongside these sit a cluster of old cream buttons, a wooden spool of thread, a “Crystal Mending” silk card, and a strand of vintage millinery flowers in beautifully softened hues.

Everything here has been chosen for its quiet harmony, the way colour and texture move between cloth, paper, and thread. There is a gentle sense of story, something domestic, something once kept, now gathered again.

Condition is timeworn throughout. Expect soft creasing, slight fading, age marks, and handling wear. The charm lies in this softness, nothing is pristine, everything carries its past lightly.

Ideal for slow stitch, collage, journal work, or as a ready-made inspiration bundle for textile-led projects.
