If there were such a thing as a heaven for embroidery…

I am sure it would be filled with lovelies like these

My bloggy friend Melissa is working on an amazing deer cross stitch right now.  When I saw this piece I thought of her project.

I stumbled upon this grand collection of hand embroidered pillow cases at the Value Village.  They washed up well and I gave the “darling” ones to my darlings for Valentine’s Day. I pumped up the ISO to about 3600 to take this photo in the dark!

IMG_2126I am taking a mini holiday so things will be quiet around here.

  8. I am always baffled when people find these things at the thrift store. This is NOT what I find. I must be looking in the wrong place! I hope you have a great break. I think I need one of those too. ;-)
