Sweet Dreams Pink


What can make your dreams sweeter?





Hand embroidered and cross stitched pillow cases
with pink flowers and crocheted edges of course!




Add in a hand stitched pink and white quilt or a vintage chenille spread with
pink flowers.  Sweet dreams are guaranteed!

It's time for Pink Saturday again!

Thank you for all of the many kind notes regarding my Mother-in-Law's
passing.  David and I both appreciate your kindness.

Bentley ~ are you having sweet dreams napping on that pink quilt?

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

  1. These are so pretty! I have several pairs of pillowcases hand-embroidered by my Mom. They are about 30 years old now, and so soft. I treasure them. Nice post.

  3. Those are so beautiful. I have a quilt and pillowcases from my grandmother that these remind me of. I'm sorry for the loss of your mother-in-law. My mom passed away in 2008, and my mother-in-law passed about nine months before that so I understand the sorrow and the loss that one feels not having them close to talk to anymore. My heart grieves with you both.

  6. OOoo, I love vintage embroidery and cross stitch linens. My paternal grandmother did many of those and I still have a few sets, though they are a bit worn (I actually used them). Yours are stunning, and look so crisp and cool.

    I'm sorry about your Mother-in-Law.

    Enjoy your Saturday,
    Marianne

  7. Your pink and white is so lovely. I think lovely linens like these look wonderful paired with a quilt. This look adds so much charm to a bedroom.
    Happy Pink Saturday.

  9. Happy Pink Saturday Sweetie, and you too Bentley...
    What an elegant and gorgeous share today sweet friend. I can smell these fresh linens as if they just came off the line and have been freshly ironed and starched. How beautiful they are. The embroidery is exquisite and I love the colors and textures.

    The music is perfect today sweet friend. An absolutely gorgeous post. I so enjoyed my visit. Country hugs and much love, Sherry

  18. I have a set of pillowcases my mother embroidered many years ago. I hate to use them for fear they will wear out before I do :) but it makes me so near to her when I put my head on my pillow that is covered with her loving handiwork.

    I, too, am sorry for your MIL's passing. Alzheimer's is such a wicked disease. I am sure she loved your recent post and tribute to her. . . and am certain she would have loved blogging, too. I often times think my mom would have gotten a thrill out of the fact that I had a blog. . . she was always my biggest supporter.

    Happy Pink Saturday. Dana
