Vintage Find

I guess I could be partial to this piece because it's dated my birth year.
Or because of the sweet little old lady, who owned the home, where I got this yard sale find.
Maybe it's the orange.
Maybe it's the green.
Maybe it's the cute little animals hiding behind each letter.
Whatever the reason, I knew this little piece of material, for which I paid 25 cents, would have a new life in my girl's room. I contemplated framing it but wall space is limited & I knew little hands would enjoy being able to rub the stitching & trace the animals.
We backed it & trimmed it with a flat orange fabric.
It's just waiting for a pillow to be slipped inside & to be laid on the white wood bed.
Stay tuned for the project's completion...
