Lovely Vintage Textile

I wanted to share this lovely piece of embroidery I bought at an antique market last weekend. It is actually a little pouch that was used by ladies to hold their handkerchief. I just love the softness of the colors and the placement of the design.
I have it hanging by my work table. When I look up it feels a bit like looking through a window at wildflowers blowing in the breeze...

Simply gorgeous! -- not only the flower work, but the fabric itself looks beautiful, and I love the colors. Yes, I'd have to agree you, like looking out a window. Great find!
