Vintage Yellow Charity Shop Bargain!

I hope this lovely little piece of vintage embroidery brightens up your day - it certainly brightened mine when I found it in a charity shop last week.

 
The vibrant, bright yellow really caught my eye and at 25 pence - well, would you resist?

 
These photos were taken without the flash, but it is such a dull day here in Greenock that they don't show it off in its true colours.  I think it has been one of those transfer pieces - can you just see the blue outline beside these stitches.

 
I'm going to put this away just now - it will be perfect in springtime with a vase of gorgeous yellow daffies.

 
Have a happy weekend.

Love, Liz

The weather outside my window is dreary with rain, I needed to see this sunny yellow cloth with sweet flowers, thanks for brightening up my morning.

Oh...can't wait to get out to out thrifts again. The 25p price tag gives me almost as much pleasure as the cloth....

Well done.

It's a shame that almost none of the younger generation has these skills.

Mind you with the price of linen and cotton these days some of these projects are a major investment.

Nice find, I love this type of embroidery. I was in a few charity shops when I was home just now, but I did not find anything this time.

What a delightful, cheerful cloth Liz. I always feel a little sad too when I think of all the hours that someone spent embroidering it only to be cast away by someone who didn't care - glad you found it though, I know it's found a good home now and will be loved :o)

This is a gorgeous find! I learned to embroider before I was 10, have done it on and off over the years and am just getting back into it again now.
Love your blog, too! ~ Linne

I wouldn't have been able to walk by this one, and at 25p, that's so cheap. I never see doileys at that price here in Australia.

Great bargain....what a lovely find Liz.
Will, look beautiful with some Daffs.....So nice that it gets a new home and someone appreciates the time and love that has gone into making it.

I can just imagine it in the Spring, such a pretty find. I love squirreling these things away ready to be unpacked afresh months later - it'll be a lovely treat for you in the warmer weather.
