I have been enamored of Karen's work for sometime now, and am thrilled to have a piece of it! This beautiful hand stitched silk pincushion features cutaway areas with bits of vintage embroidered textile peeking through!
I love the attention to detail!
And it's just as pretty on the reverse side!
And look at the beautiful gift that Karen included for me!

Beautiful pincushion! It would almost seem cruel to stick it with pins! Those buttons are lovely also. What a wonderful purchase & a sweet gift to boot! Certainly things to treasure.
Have yourself a wonderful weekend :)
Great purchase and find! That cloth ruler almost looks like a belt - what a neat accessory!
Hey Victoria, thanks so much for the shout out! The pictures look great and I LOVE that measure!

My Mum has a tape measure just like this it's so well used its really soft and floppy.
I love pincushions and that one is soooo pretty! The embroidered buttons are sweet also!
I've got a cloth tape measure that Muddy gave me that looks almost just like that one, except the one I have doesn't have "corsets" written on the back of it. Now that's real vintage! :)
it's such a beautiful cushion...I wouldn't want to stick pins into it.
Those little buttons are precious!
The pin cushion is so pretty. I really love the vintage tape measurer.
