My oldest daughter who lives with me enjoys having a surprise gift display which I’ll see as I go into the kitchen for breakfast. This was on the table this morning as my Valentine gift. I hoped to have better pictures with blue skies and sunshine outside, but by the time I got the camera, the skies had darkened and two to four inches more snow are expected within the next hour or two.
The trivet has her hand-embroidered piece of Dan Patch (an old famous trotting horse) which she designed and the stitching is tiny, tiny. The entire piece is only 3-1/2 inches square.
She included a custard cup for my growing collection of Harker Hot Oven vintage items. It’s filled with some of my favorite chocolates.
Everything is setting on a vintage dresser scarf which my daughter embroidered and then added a crocheted edging.
Everything just goes together to make the most charming Valentine.
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone.

I’ve just gotten rid of my DH’s kids, who were visiting from AU…who were not anywhere near as thoughtful & considerate as YOURS!!! I may write up a blog post on what NOT to do when you’re a house guest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
