Finding a gift

For my son and his wife's first wedding anniversary I found two cotton hearts of counted threadwork as created in my village.

 Les Jours d'Angles ... has existed since about 1850 in this village, where women spent their days pulling threads from silk, cotton, linen and then with needle and thread binding other threads together to form a marquetry of design.  It was used to decorate lingerie as well as other clothing, tablecloths etc...  Today the art is being promoted and protected as PATRIMOINE. You can see women working at the Office du Tourisme and also they offer lessons to those who have the fine point skills and patience for such work. Not I!
