Just look at these sweet little blue birds. They're perfect for valentines because they're inside a heart made out of a flower garland. So cute!
They're done in cross stitch on a snow white runner. I'm guessing this piece was done in the 60's though these colors were not popular at that time. Love them now, though!!
This adorable pillowcase is from the late 40's early 50's. It's embroidered with a little blue bird holding a basket full of flowers.
The colors are a little bold for my taste, but this style of blue bird is among my top five all time favorites. It's just too cute!
This guest towel has a beautiful pair of soft blue birds surrounding a white monogrammed "C". There are no "c" initials in my family, but I don't care. Monogrammed anythings are a great old-fashioned accent to any guest room or bathroom. It's in perfect condition, snow white and I liked it. Anyway, I read in Victorian magazine last year that Monogrammed linens are very collectible even if the initial "doesn't make sense."
I play the piano and love music so this sweet pillowcase was just too cute to pass up! Just look at these teeny little birds sitting on the music notes. Love it!
Another great blue bird runner. I love the soft blues and pinks.
Isn't he sweet?
This darling little bird is embroidered on a kitchen towel. It does have a couple of faint spots, but not noticeable and it's just too cute to matter anyway.
Another little bird making music, but this time with a violin. My daughter and I tried learning the violin when she was little. This pillowcase is precious not only because it has the adorable little bird, but because it reminds me of that time with my Erica so many years ago.
I'm the first to admit that I have a lot of favorites, but can you blame me? Just look at the workmanship in all of these pieces. I just love blue birds. They make me happy when I see them, real or embroidered!I hope you enjoyed seeing all this beautiful hand embroidered art on these vintage pieces.
Blessings,
