Embroidery is back! Especially "petit point" embroideries with flowers, preferably antique ones. I bought the latest number of the magazine "Antik världen" and they had an full article just about embroidered cushions. I found one cushion for my self this weekend in Nora from the 1940s and today I bought one from the1890s at "Old touch" in Stockholm. This one has pearls embroidered on to it, absolutely beautiful! I would like to have an old chair or even a sofa filled with embroideries, but for now I think I have to be satisfied with the cushions, will look lovely on our bed!
