I relish the thought of undertaking textile archeology with an oyster knife. :-) But who cares, if it gets the job done it seems to be the right tool for the job!<br /><br />I am sorry to reply to this post so late but I thought I had replied already. Since it is half june, I believe you may still be in the midst of your move to the new house. The pictures promise a fabulous home for you and your dogs. Good luck with the move and I hope that everything survives the move in one piece.<br /><br />Monsieur H.Huibrechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00149990267212076540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429170875347131944.post-61857960812416817682020-05-13T17:06:27.575-07:002020-05-13T17:06:27.575-07:00The photos of your soon to be home look AMAZING an...The photos of your soon to be home look AMAZING and the perfect space to showcase so many of your Rediscovered Treasures! <br />I am impressed that you dived into repairing your father-in-laws ancient screen but what a worthwhile albeit, intensive labour of love: finding a TREASURE within a Treasure! elizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429170875347131944.post-2579362167887149252020-05-08T07:23:24.350-07:002020-05-08T07:23:24.350-07:00I would have loved to be part of restoring the scr...I would have loved to be part of restoring the screen...the thrill of finding the layers of fabric and the old wallpaper would give my soul a thrill.

Pulling staples, I can attest, is therapeutic and leaves the greatest sense of accomplishment upon completion! I am excited to see how you'll bring new life to this old screen.<br />The new house is so charming and the photos leave me on pins and needles just dying for you to move in!!!

That toile really is so beautiful, both the colours and the motifs - just as well it was rescued. <br />I cannot imagine packing for a house not yet seen. But then again, the pictures speak for themselves and I for one would no need much convincing to pack up and go. I hope the rest of your packing as well as the move itself goes smoothly for you.<br />Stay Well<br />Anna XAnna https://www.blogger.com/profile/02942756202056729563noreply@blogger.com
