Happy St. Valentine's Day!

 St. Valentine's Day is a world wide celebration of love and romance. Red roses and chocolate hearts are a traditional gift for a loved one.  But roses fade, and chocolate gets eaten (Yummy)!

Another way to celebrate is to take out all your vintage embroidered hearts.  I didn't realize the variety in which our fore-mothers designed their hearts.  These are just some of the hearts that I've recently sold in my eBay store.

 This beautiful blue heart on pink roses is on a stunning pillowcase.

 These sweet daisy garland hearts are embroidered on each end of a table runner.

 Some hearts are appliqued like these pretty pink hearts, above, on a dresser scarf.

 Red roses and little daisies create this lovely heart. The words "his" and "hers" are embroidered into the bow at the top. So romantic!

 The hemstitching around these lovely posy hearts makes this runner unique. It is way more beautiful in person than in the photos.

The silk ribbon embroidered heart is a bit more modern than the others. There are tiny pearl seed beads tucked into the little rosettes. 

Even dish towels were touched with a bit of romance. These two puppy dogs are too cute!

I never cease to be amazed at the talent, creativity and patience the ladies put into their every day linens.  What a great way to add a touch of love to your decor that turns a house into a home.

Happy St. Valentine's Day!!
