something borrowed, something blue…
Something cherished.

Wedding Pillows From Pretty Hankies
This is the corner of the larger pillow.
I love the lace. If you look closely you can see that the Lace insertion is hand Pinstitched to the fabric.
Both of these pillows will be used in the wedding of my Friend's Son.
My Friend made the pillows using Handkerchiefs that were meaningful to her. The small one was her Grandmothers and my Friend carried it in her Bridal bouquet. And the Bride to be chose them for her Ring Bearers Pillows. What a lucky new Bride to receive such treasures! And what a lucky future Mother In Law my Friend is, to have such a sweet and willing girl to come into her family.
She made a nice cover for the pillows and then tacked the pretty Handkerchiefs to the pillow on the front. On the back of the pillow is the Bride and Grooms name and date of the wedding.
The Silk Satin Ribbon will tie the Wedding rings to the pillow.
And while admiring the Pillows, we had tea!
Everything's lovely when you have a cup of tea!
In a pretty cup.
Early Valentine Cookies.
Cookies and Tea, Cookies and Tea
We'll all get together for Cookies and Tea!

White Wednesday - Two Pretty Stitches on a Hanky
Two of my favorite stitch embellishments on one little hanky.
Top is the Hemstitch used as a decorative stitch and at the bottom of the picture used in a functional way. The hanky is hemmed using the Hemstitch.
Hanky is made of fine linen that I wish I had a bolt of!! It doesn't exist in this quality anymore.
Here you see the wrong side of the hanky on top of the right side of the hanky. Not alot of difference because the work is so fine!!
And my fully blooming Paperwhites basking in the morning sun.
Mmmm, the smell is heavenly.
He has made every thing beautiful in His time.

A Gorgeous Hanky!
I think this is the most beautiful hanky I have ever seen.
It was my Birthday Hanky.
And for one thing...I love hankies!
And for another thing... I love Blue.
And of course I love anything that is beautifully embroidered.
This is all perfectly hand embroidered. I mean Perfectly!
It would be beautiful framed and hung on my wall.
The Three Foxes
Once upon a time there were three little foxes
Who didn't wear stockings,
and they didn't wear sockses,
But they all had handkerchiefs to blow their noses,
And they kept their handkerchiefs in cardboard boxes
