Grandma Crin Wagner's Butterfly Angel






































While digging through the bottomless box of hankies I was recently gifted from my Grandma, I found a couple I really liked. In fact, I found one with a H which I believe belonged to my Great Grandma Helen Peckham Mero, which would be my Grandpa's Mom. Then, I received a little butterfly in the mail from my Aunt with a note saying that Great Grandma Crin knitted it who was my Grandma's Mother. So I dreamed up my own angel with things from both Great Grandmas! I have been wanting to make myself one for ages!






































Here is a close up of the yummy flowers and that pretty butterfly. Can you see the little H peeking out from under it? Love the little pearl branches peeking out from under the flowers and the gold thread. I've got her hung up and on display near some of my other favorite things.



That whole display makes me smile! Love the vintage!

Happy Hump Day!
