Frédérique Crestin-Billet, the lovely
and lucky owner of Mason Sajou,
has written many books
about her outstanding collection of
vintage haberdashery.
Here, I will show you one
of her books.
(I will post about another
two books next time).
Mercerie Au Rayon Des Fils
(Haberdashery: Thread Department)
(All of these images are shown with kind
permission from Frédérique Crestin-Billet)
You will find 238 pages of absolute
delight, written in both French and
English with so many gorgeous
pictures to look at.... so many
that I had a hard time choosing what
to include here.
Above - sold in the 1960's is this boxed set -
"Images de France", cotton thread on
tube spools decorated with French
regional figures.
Below is one of the pages from
wool section - this page showing
novel wool cards and some knitting
needle gauges!
Above - just love these wooden egg-shaped
darners, ... and
Below - a wonderful shop display board.
This is a fabulous book for the
vintage sewing collector!
