so sweet in the pressed glass vase and the perfect opportunity to bring out a vintage embroidered table runner. I adore embroidered linens and these cross-stitch napkins are especially nice with the milk glass tea set.
This inspired me to spend a little time at my sewing machine today. I created a sweet little embroidered tea towel.
I chose a very delicate design which shows in stark contrast to the more heavily embroidered vintage table runner.
I chose flour sack cloth for the embroidery. Although it's new, it has a vintage quality to it dont you think? The less than perfect nature of the cotton lends itself well to delicate stitcheries.
Since I'm particularly fond of this tea set, I keep it displayed on my kitchen shelf along with a milk glass bud vase, two porcelain candle holders, and a blue and taupe set of embroidered tea linens.
Thanks for visiting with me today. I'm happy you stopped by and I hope you come again soon.
I am linking this post to Tea-time Tuesday , Teapot and Tea Things Tuesday, and A Return to Loveliness. Many beautiful things to enjoy.

I like your pretty embroidery. Of course it is something that I love to do. I like the flowers and wish we would have some more Spring weather instead of the cold, warm, back to cold again. Have a wonderful weekend. Your Missouri Friend.
Your linens are just lovely, Vee! Love the bright yellow flowers and your wonderful milk glass too! Thank you for stopping by for tea and enjoy your week.
Blessings,

Hi Vee
The golden ranunculus looks very pretty in the blue vase.
As a person that appreciates linens, I admire the tea towel you made. Yes, it does look vintage.

Hello Vee,
Your embriodery is just lovely! Perfect complement! Love the color of the Ranunculas with the color of the pressed glass vase. Goes very well with the Milk Glass.
Thank you for sharing this with A Return to Loveliness,
You've made it all the more special,

Wow..this is just a beautiful tea post! I'm so glad you signed up to follow my blog. Yours is just lovely! I do hope you will link up with my tea party though it isn't so pretty as yours. I usually do better photos of tea sets than this week. But of course, I'm still recovering from my cold. :o)
I ADORE your embroidered tea towels! I love the cotten texture. You did a lovely job. :o)
Weaving too? I've never met anyone who weaves. I taught myself to make a homemade loom and to weave in order to teach myself how to tie Persian knotted rugs. (I've only done about 4 square inches or so. Ha!)
You sound like a woman after my own heart!
