Blue skies over a pale prairie

 

While sorting through different fabric stacks, I came across a vintage piece of pale blue linen.

It is the perfect base for a project I have wanted to experiment with for a while.

 

~ a vintage inspired pocket pillow

 

 

I chose a gorgeous piece of spider web-like crochet for the pocket and added a cotton rosette with a mother of pearl button for the center.

 

A little drizzle of lace, ribbon and a pearl stick pin . . .

 

A pocket should hold some treasures right?

How about a nicely aged page from a vintage french book and a wedding cabinet card?

 

Or, you could tuck other meaningful treasures inside.

For a bride and groom, maybe their wedding invitation.

For a sweet newborn, maybe a birth announcement.

 

So pretty, like blue skies over a prairie field.

This darling is listed in my etsy shop here.

 

Wishing you blue skies today ~ prairie or not  ;)
