LITTLE ROSEBUD LINEN NAPKINS


This week I had some time to visit the antique stores along Union in Pueblo, Colorado.  I found a set of 6 linen napkins in 3 different sizes which match my Rosebud Bouquet China. They are cross stitched on each corner. Can you imagine this work?  I washed them up and ironed them for the table to match my USA Rosebud China from  the 1950's. 

I also decided to keep this English Cup and Saucer because I loved the many roses and shape of the cup.  (Crown Staffordshire) 




When I see this detail handwork,
I realize  that would not be done
by me.  I like short term projects.


I can appreciate the hand work
 that embroidery
presents to us too.






Do you do some type of
hand needle work?




The other item I thought was cute was the 50's pink swan!  I couldn't resist him - or her?  She looks sweet as a baby with my white swan.
I hope your weekend is delightful!

    Hi Bernideen,
    I love your table setting. That dinner set is so very pretty and I would have kept that teacup too. Rosebuds and roses are my favourite and look beautiful on china. The cross stitched napkins are perfect! Thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend too! Take care,
    Karen

    The rosebud napkins are lovely and will complement many teacups with roses on them. I like the shape of the teacup you're keeping too.

    Weekend has been quite delightful! Fancy tea cups, with loose tea and all! Made especially sweet with the honey from the local honey bee farm down the street! Yes, nothing could be finer! Your settings are beautiful!

    Aloha from New York State...
