Vintage Embroidered Hearts.... filled with lavender

I have a fantastic collection of my great grandmothers' (on both sides) hand embroidery and hand made lace. This one of meadow flowers is particularly beautiful, and the colours are so bright and vivid.
It was hard to cut them up to make my vintage lavender hearts but as the linen ground fabric has many stains on ( mostly red wine, which is impossible to remove) I found it a bit easier, especially when the hearts were filled with French Lavender.



Look for my Lavender hearts on Etsy coming soon or available from Redhouse Gifts in Totnes, Devon. http://www.redhousegifts.co.uk/
