Hand Embroidery new and vintage




Simple and charming is how I would describe our dish towels, all are hand done, lots of hours of pleasure. The only time I complain is if I am in the car and my husband hits a bump in the road causing a stabbing incident.

The clothes hanger covers are vintage hand embroidery with hand made lace, crochet or tatted edges. Originally were vintage pillow cases that were past their prime but seemed too pretty to toss away. All the covers include a lavendar filled organza sachet to keep closets and clothes smelling crisp. The lavendar was gathered from the Mt. Shasta Lavendar farm in Northern California. I did buy some covers a while back from Elizabeth W. but at over 35. each thought it was too expensive for my whole closet. Additionally they couldn't be cleaned because of the sewn in lavender pouch, so I came up with my own design and it is more practical. I can wash the cover gently, and also replace the lavender when needed.

Agnes was inspired to create a Needle and Pin set after my daughter gave her a pin cushion for christmas, and like her egg cosies are simple in style as well as practical. I just love them. Natalie pointed out that it should be Pins and Needles, but we're an odd pair so Needles and Pins it is.
