Bluebells & Hearts



My bluebell collection is in its infancy but I thought I would show you a few pictures of my favourite flower after Posy posted about them the other day. (lovely photos Posy) . The plate is from my Lark Rise To Candleford stuff (another collection!) The picture behind is a recent purchase from Niki at Nostaglia at the Stone House. I love it Niki thank you! This gorgeous cup and saucer was a lucky find in a junky type shop, it's Aynsley from the 1930's

Blue and yellow are the colours of spring for me, so just to continue the theme here is a french knot heart recently completed. I used DMC embroidery silks on calico and then framed it in a pretty blue frame. I love doing French knots so this will not be the last project. Sorry that the photos ae quite dull, will have to experiment a bit more.



Have a peaceful and joyful Easter one and all.

    Ooohh, I love that heart! I love french knots too -- thanks for the reminder of yet another technique that needs more attention. {Sigh} Just not enough time!

    The Lark Rise plate is lovely - I didn't realise such a thing existed. Must explore further! Have you read Flora Thompson's 'The Peverel Papers'? It's one of those books I've had for a couple of years and never read so it's by my bed now ready to be started.

    Welcome the the world of blogging! I found yours via Jacran Cottage.
    I too love Lark Rise to Candleford but it is years since I read it. I also have 'Still Glides the Stream' bought in 1978 (it says inside)!

    Your Bluebell collection is beautiful. I am so glad that you liked the framed print! The cup and saucer is very pretty - I have not seen that design before - I have similar one with a cottage garden printed on though.

    Also, your French Knot heart is stunning. I appreciate the hours of work that must have gone into it.

    "Happy Easter" to you!
    Niki

    Your bluebell collection is lovely. Bluebells remind me of when I was a child playing in the woods at the end of the road. There was a tree surrounded by bluebells and we called it Bluebell Roundabout! Happy carefree days!!

    Your French knot heart is lovely. Embroidery is something I have yet to try, I've only done cross stitch.

    Hope you had a lovely Easter weekend!
