Have a Heart!
My latest collection -- vintage heart pin cushions. I found the first one at my favorite antique shoppe, then picked up two more on our recent trip to Indiana.
I also found this crochet/ribbon piece, that I thought would be perfect to put as a "garter" around a basket. It happened to fit this one perfectly.
Old crochet edging.
Pink ribbon yo-yos.
See that little extra crochet piece on the left of the photo? What do you think that is for? It is just the right size to hold a thimble, so perhaps that is its intended use.
I like the different variations on all of them. And the fact that they all have some pink in them. The ruffles on this one are so sweetly done!

All those old vintage pieces are so pretty and you gave me a fresh new idea. Thank you. Happy Belated Pink Saturday.
Your pin cushions are unique and make wonderful collectables. Also, the design of your blog is lovely. I do love Christmas and I'm off to visit your Christmas blog.

So pretty! I think it's amazing that ladies took the time to create such beautiful pin cushions. You are blessed to be their new owner! Thanks for sharing your mom's use of vintage ice buckets for salad. Great idea I will definitely try!
I have a couple of these heart shaped pin cushions and just love them. I have one that is in "pieces" and I know I should get my crochet hook, some ribbon and just finish it. Loved your photos....awesome.

Becca, your vintage pin cushions are beautiful. I too love the hand crocheted pin cushions. Lots of time was lovingly taken to make such pretty things. I love the way you display them too.

Oh Becca,
How can I think of myself any longer as the Queen of vintage crochet goodies when I don't have any of these hearts?? LOL They are AWESOME!!!!!!!! And pink!!!! Boy I think I'm in love!!!!!!LOL Later, Lori
Beautiful crocheted hearts! And the ribbon looks so soft. Love your beautiful collection!
Kitty
Lovely. Interesting you would find such similar ones at different places. Meant to have the collection I think.
I think it might have been for holding a thimble, that way everything is together.
They are sooo pretty. I wonder what their story is.
Hope you've had a great day
Judi
They are all so pretty! And the basket is perfect for displaying.

Becca, you know I love the crocheted hearts because I have mom's old ones, except the ribbon is missing, but I will figure it out. Great new Christmas blog. I deleted mine that I made 2 years ago, but I think I will do it over. Hugs, Pat
Hello, thank you so much for stopping by and leaving such a sweet comment. I love your blog, I'm going to put you in my favorites so I remember to come back. I love all these crochet items you have here. I collect the heart pincushions but have not been able to find on in the pale pink. I'm going to check out your older posts and your christmas blog.
Blessings, SHirl

Those are so pretty!
I bet you're right...that little thing probably holds a thimble, or maybe a very small spool of thread.

What a wonderful idea to collect and group these darling hear pincushions. Of course, I love that they are all hand made by ladies long ago. And I LOVE the idea of decorating a little basket with crocheted "garter" trim. It's always such a pleasure to visit your blog.
Patricia :o)
WOW I want to go thrifting with you! You found some great things.
I would love to see your pink pumpkins
Have a great weekend
