Heirloom bedspread

Hello everyone!
I wanted to share
with all of you
my Italian Grandmother's bedspread.
She brought this beautiful silk bedspread
with her
when she came to
Canada
back in 1950!

Lovely detailing on the fringe...


I have also put it on my
harvest table at
Christmas time
due to it
being
the colour gold.


This bedspread is more of a decorative piece.
It has a tendency to slide of the bed!
I think it's main purpose
is just
to add a
touch of
elegance to the bed.



...and i think it really does!
Thanks for stopping by
Pamela xo

    That is really lovely Pamela! I wouldn't be able to have something that nice and put it on my bed, because for sure Fetzer and Shatzie would think that I put it there for them!

    Hi Pamela, What a treasure you have there. I am fortunate to have 2 crochet bedspreads made by my Grandmothers and one made by my Mom. So precious to have their handywork. I wonder if there is a story behind the beautiful silk bedspread... It's perfect in your beautiful home. Love, Penny

    Never let it go!!! Grandmothers' treasures should always be guarded and loved......and passed on down. I have a few pieces of my grandmother's china and just looking at them brings back the most wonderful childhood memories. I spent a lot of time with her and loved her so much.
