aros 7 - my grandmother's tablecloth

They say old lace is whitened
When washed and hung overnight
Outside in heavy frost.
Last night would have been perfect.

  1. Love this - it's small details that help us travel back in time and this one links now with a very different way of living.

  2. Something about this just touched a chord in me. I suddenly feel incredibly nostalgic. It's a lovely stone.

  3. Thank you both - one of those 'came to me in a flash' as I looked out at the white grass.

  4. Hello Sandra,

    You've a lovely bunch of stones here! What a fantastic idea, I've just joined in as well thanks to seeing 'A River of Stones' on your site!

    I look forward to reading more throughout the month! A great way to beat the January blues.

    Best wishes for the New Year,
    Susan
