Needlebook or embroidery case?

A while ago, I found a vintage, pink cashmere (yes, vintage--pink--cashmere!!) blazer at the thrift store. Oh what joy! Oh what excitement! What would I ever do whithout a thrift nearby...I don't even want to go there..ahem. Anyway, this is my first project from that blazer. I adore this. I don't always make things I adore. Much of the time I'm just O.K. with it. But this I want to kiss :) As you can see it's a needlebook, and I also added a little pocket to stow away a few small notions, or some embroidery floss for your current project. The posie on the front is baby alpaca wool with a vintage button. The chocolate brown ribbon is vintage velvet. Have I said vintage enough in this post? sheesh.  This is another  item I'm thinking of adding to  my etsy shop when I reopen it.

Please, please, please make another to put in your shop! I LOVE this - so pretty!

oh my goodness, both of these are great. i just love them.

Very sweet indeed. I have some of that ribbon and I love love love it. Although I am NOT a business woman, I think a stylish business woman would enjoy such a thing for business cards. This would make a delightful valentine!

OK I am waiting outside the door of your etsy shop for you to open so I can buy this! Or do I want the pillow. Who am I kidding I want BOTH!

Oh. Ohh. Everything they said. And more. All way too sweet. I love the needle case. Your style is very French country, I think.

Toni, I am so behind on my blog reading but the stuff you are creating right now is absolutely wonderful. I LOVE everything, especially these needlecases!

It's seams soooo sweet ! It's so perfect ! I'm in love with it ! You rock !! Smooches

Absolutely beautiful! I love how feminine it is and all the lovely vintage textiles you used :)

I want to kiss it too!

The colors are perfect and that little touch of floral fabric just sets it off. Once again. Great job.

This is just gorgeous. Did you knit or crochet the flower on the front? Excuse my ignorance! Every now and then I try to pick up crocheting but i leave such big gaps I forget how to do it, next time I pick up a needle! I love making felt purses, its so nice to work with.

Very nice. So pretty and practical!

That needle case is dreamy!

Beautiful! I love it!!

Oh my god it's beautiful! You are just too clever Toni. I love that so much!

Oh, lovely, lovely, lovely.

What a cute needlecase! I went to the shop too. Can't wait 'til you reopen!

Oh! I want to kiss it too! Gorgeous!

You are doing amazing things with needlebooks. That little pocket for the embroidery thread, such a great idea. Something so practical and so beautiful.
