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.

Happy Valentines Day, Lillian! What a wonderfully thoughtful & talented daughter you’ve raised.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a delightful Valentine surprise! I knew one or the other or both daughters would do something, and this is just lovely. They always put so much time and thought into their gifts to you.
