It's hip to be square!
(Square meaning honest, traditional... loyal)
A spring giveaway!
(Just leave a little comment on this post for your chance to win!)
I found this beautiful linen in a bag of treasures I purchased...
It was bunched up, stained, knotted with string~
When I gently opened it up, thinking it was a bunch of lace,
Wow! A perfect treasure of love!
Hand stitched details are breathtakingly beautiful!
I sketched five acorns in random squares...
Ten beautiful vintage "square" buttons are included but not stitched on~
You can decide!
I think it is perfect to share this "found" treasure...
The artist that spent hours and hours stitching was sharing her heart!
The time she must have spent!
We have always encouraged our children to~
Take time to look for the good...
Take time to get to know...
Take time to decide...
Take time to grow...
In a fast paced world... it's always good to take some time~

I love old linens carefully stitched by a pair of loving hands. I image the woman sitting and stitching maybe in her garden with butterflies dancing around her. I wonder who she loved as only one who loves can create. Old buttons conjure up lovely images of my grandmother. I got none of her collection when she died but as a child I played with them. Your work in one word Michelle is Wistful.....love that word don't you? Acorns...watch out the squirrels might get them!
I can see this beautifully framed. My favorite things, nature art, beautiful old buttons, and linen. I'd love to win, it is precious, thank you for being so generous, and talented.

I'm not here to enter-- I just want to say that the linen is just beautiful. It looks perfect with the buttons as you have them arranged. If it were mine-- I'd frame it- just so!
