Hi there and welcome to my shop. Here you will find old embroideries, vintage fabrics and sparkling remnants made into something pretty and practical once again. I re-stock slowly but surely, so do keep coming back for a browse.
As I try to recycle where I can, your order will arrive wrapped in clean, recycled packaging from my hoard.
Thank you for visiting me at Folksy.

I love the period charm of these wonderful old embroidered illustrations. So wishful and sentimental, but who wouldn’t have dreamt of a garden like this one back in the day?

Full description

Here is the prettiest piece of old embroidery ever. I rescued this, and a beautiful pile of vintage pieces from a forgotten part of a table top sale. It’s been brought back to life with careful washing, a bit of TLC and a good press. With its delicate front panel of a thatched cottage, it’s not your everyday purse, but something to be saved for special occasions. It would be perfect at a vintage wedding for instance, or it hung up somewhere special as a little piece of craft work in its own right. It is unashamedly nostalgic, with its pretty cottage garden, and would make a lovely gift for a lover of textiles or vintage, or maybe someone who is learning to embroider.

The front panel has been backed with cotton for strength, but it is still a soft little bag. There are tiny clusters of little ruby and gold glass beads stitched onto the top of the embroidery.

The back panel is a cream cotton/linen union to give it some strength.

It measures 16 cm wide and 13 cm down with a dark green 16 cm long zip opening.

It is lined with a floral green and gold vintage cotton, and finished off with my own embroidered name tag.

I like to reuse where possible. Your little bag will be posted out using clean, recycled packaging from my stash, and posted out as Royal Mail 2nd class.
