I believe my cousin was the first of us to discover hand-knitted bedspreads on eBay. Oh, her finds were so pretty! When we first started shopping for our own, the prices tended to be prohibitive. But, after a good bit of patience, my mother has been able to gather a beautiful collection for the family... and I believe that some of them cost as little as $5.00!
She and I were sorting them recently, gathering them together, and putting the ones not currently in use on a quilt rack. I already had one of my own upstairs, but she shared some of what I thought were the prettiest with me. :)
I know that someone somewhere put many hours (hundreds? thousands?) into making something so lovely... what a blessing from a stranger!

LOVE the bedspreads! They look so soft and perfectly cozy.
Is that your bedroom? I love, love, love the wallpaper. It looks like a page out of Victoria, or maybe Shabby Chic! Claire would LOVE it! I'll show it to her soon. I'll have to post a picture of her room, too. It is also very feminine, just like her. :) Her new curtains remind me of an old fashioned nightgown with smocking at the top... couldn't resist. She loves Peter Pan so much, when I see her curtains I always think, "Wendy." :)
