Have you read the wonderful Tale of Despereaux?
In the words of its amazing author, it’s a story “of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup, and a Spool of Thread.”
I found these fabulous vintage spools of thread at a thrift store and couldn’t help but take some photos. I love the wooden spools and how after all these years the thread is still beautiful. And now everytime I see a spool of thread, I can’t help but remember this fantastic book.
