A little piece of nostalgia, rescued from the Goodwill Bins!
Some of you may have seen me pull this sweet piece out of the Goodwill Bins! It was simply too cute to leave behind. While I loved the embroidery, I wasn’t crazy about the little frame it came in, so I decided to give it a new home.
This charming vintage crewel embroidery, believed to date to the 1970s, features a young girl wearing an oversized yellow bonnet, carrying a basket of pink flowers, and holding a delicate flower in her hand. With its warm autumn colors, textured stitching, and unmistakable Holly Hobbie-inspired aesthetic, it’s a sweet reminder of a simpler time.
I’ve reframed the original needlework in a beautiful, substantial vintage solid wood frame with a warm, rich finish. The frame shows signs of age and wear, but I personally think that only adds to its character and nostalgic charm.
Perfect for a cottagecore bedroom, vintage-inspired nursery, gallery wall, or any space that celebrates handmade treasures and collected-over-time decor.

A Flea & Frame Find
One of the things I love most about vintage is giving forgotten pieces a second chance. This little girl may have been overlooked in the bins, but with a different frame, she’s ready to be appreciated all over again.
Please note: This is a vintage piece with character and imperfections consistent with its age. These details are part of its charm.
