Grey Dey Thursdey, a little bit late

I was sorting through some gorgeous old braids and trims I had brought back from France after the summer and I came across some rather exquisite 19th Century French silk and metal braids. One of those braids is the most gorgeous taupe-y grey, so I thought I would show you this one for Petite Michelle Louise's Grey Dey Thursdey -






Hop over to Michelle's blog and check out all the other beautiful and elegant greys!

Oh Liz such exquisite old taupe braid.
I've never seen any braid so beautiful and you have displayed it so elegantly against that stunning dressing table silver plated mirror - also exquisite!
Thinking of you as we watch the cricket over here!
Big hugs,
Suzy
