Today I am posting random pinks - a card I made maybe 3 years ago for a Crafty Secrets Challenge I believe maybe before I even had a blog.
A boquet of pink baby roses my husband bought for me and I dried so that I can save them and look at them forever.....
Vintage linens I have found at thrift stores, garage sales, and the like. I look at them and think about the person that spent all the time to embroider them and to crochet or tat the edgings, and cannot bear to leave them there with no one to care for them. My mother and a dear older friend taught me how to embroider when I was around 7 years old and I still love it today, along with crochet and a myriad of other hand crafts that I seldom have time for. I hope you enjoy them
Happy Pink Saturday to everyone! Hop on over to Beverly's at How Sweet the Sound to see more "Pinks"
Take care,
Dru

What a beautiful collection! You are so right; when you think of the time that went into making them, it's such a shame to find them unloved. Bless you!
I love heirloom PINKS. They always bring back memories of home with my mom.
Happy PINK!

I love your pink card, and pink roses, and your embroidery collection brings back memories of my grandmother. Love them all.

Just beautiful! Such heirlooms! My Mom crochets and everyone in the family has at least one cherished piece! So glad you "rescue" these pieces! Blessings to you!
Those are all so beautiful Mom! Love you
Hi Dru, I love all your old linens with the pretty embroidery on them. I used to embroidery when the boys were little but haven't done it in years. But it has come in handy to mend some of the beautiful old cases I find. HPS
Your vintage linens are so pretty! I would love to start collecting linens too...I might start looking now I have seen your lovely collection.
Thank you so much for visiting me and for your sweet comment. I had a wonderful time participating in my very first Pink Saturday and can't wait to post more pinks next week!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
What great vintage linens. Thanks for stopping by ECS Market Monday.
They don't know for sure what's wrong with Dad, he just isn't breathing right. Not his heart....not cancer....may be infection...they have no idea. It's just frustrating.
such beautiful linens! love all the embroideries around..
Love all of your soft and delicate pinks. I can't resist old embroidered linens either. :) Nancy
Beautiful, beautiful embroidered linens, Dru. I would love to be able to create such beautiful things! I can barely knit!
Thank you so much for your visit to Mimi's Gareden and for your sweet comment. Have a beautiful new week...Kathy
I love vintage linens, and like to think about the lady that made them, what they were for, who they were for. Maybe to fill a hope chest :) Yours are lovely!
