Vintage Flowers

Vintage embroidered items are getting rarer and rarer in local charity shops, so you can imagine how delighted I was to find this lovely little piece for just 50p!


Its a pretty little table runner, embroidered with flowers at both ends.  It goes beautifully with my vintage Tuscan floral china tea set.

 
Looks as if they were made for each other!

 
Have a great weekend.


Love, Liz

Well, I've never found any in my local charity shop! Always envied those bloggers who show photos of all the lovely things they buy at such places. Me? Can never find anything!

What a lovely match Liz, they look perfect together! Well done ... These lovely vintage pieces are getting rarer and rarer, but you'll still find people telling you that they've just thrown a bagful away!

Have a wonderful weekend
