Needlepoint Love

I have been collecting pretty things for my home just like a bowerbird. I just adore needlepoint and it was the first craft that I ever learnt at tender age of 11 while visiting my godmother.

Vintage floral and birds are my favourites and I source them on Etsy, eBay and antique shops. Most of them need cleaning and framing but I'm just collecting for now.

You may remember this beauty from this post.

I'm hoping to complete this cushion kit this week purchased from here. I hope my daughter doesn't read this as she was upset that I didn't knit her the promised beanie for winter. Sorry baby! My intentions were good.

Happy crafting to you all.

Flea Market Finds - Romantic

Have you enjoyed your weekend? I didn't do much today as I was exhausted. I even slept in (past 9.00 am) which is very unusual for me. However, I do have some lovely romantic finds to share with you, gathered over the last few weeks.

I love the colours of this floral tapestry so much that it's the starting point for decorating my new bedroom. It was bought from The Good Vintage on Etsy.

Closer to home, I found this amazing violin case.

Découpaged with sheet music and folk-painted with these gorgeous flowers, who could resist such an original work of art? Circa 1920, it was very reasonably priced at the New Farm Antiques Centre.

Remember those vintage frames I found in Bangalow? Well, of course I haven't had time to paint them but I did find a couple more that were at Blake & Taylor.

I wish I had bought them all as the price had been drastically reduced and I think they are perfect for framing our hand-printed linens.

Not at such a thrifty price but as part of the Romantic theme, I do need to include the coffee table I bought this week. To see what other lovely people have found, head over to Her Library Adventures: Flea Market Finds.
