Made In... #5

Well, after yesterday's four in one guessing game, I decided to give you something a bit simpler. I received this lovely little lace handkerchief when I took part in a theatrical production in my church as a young teen. My director and I shared a similar heritage and the flower embroidered here belongs to the country of origin that we shared.
Scotland ?

It must be the Scottish Thistle! But what a gorgeous hankerchief - keep it safe!

It does look like it is from Scotland. Lovely processing.

This is the Scottish Thistle. From one Scot to another. Nicely done

cool

I agree with Harry. Must be a Scottish thistle.
September 13th, 2013  
What a treasure! Must be Scotland as every one says, but I wouldn't have known. It is lovely.

It sounds like everyone is sure of this one, so we will see.

What a delightful and meaningful gift. I'm guessing Scotland too.

Hmm, it looks like what we would call a thistle over here, but I have no idea what country that would be!

i know for one that the scottish thistle is the floral emblem of scotland (i read on scotland last night) :-)
September 13th, 2013  
How lovely. Must be Scotland- just up the road from me :-)

Thank you Tracey, Kerri, Maggie, Nicole, Brian, Timothy, Dione, Carole, Rick, Denise, Katie, Vikki, Jennifer, Yao, Alia, and Donald!!

Yes, the thistle is the beautiful flower of Scotland! So bravo to all for recognizing it! You may have heard me speak of my Scottish background before. It is one of my hopes and dreams to visit the land of my father's heritage someday. So, for now, this little memento will help keep the dream alive.

Nice shot, Ann! Beautiful little pillow. Love the pattern. No idea where it comes from ... Oh ... I see - Scotland. (Perhaps you should put the place on your next photo for us late viewers - just a suggestion)... Very nice processing too. Well done :)

@prttblues Thanks Bev! It's a lace handkerchief and yes, I'm lazy about going back and editing the copy. Maybe at the end of the week, but for now, just look at the mass reply. The answer will be in there!

Such a pretty gift and a perfect editing choice,

@allie912 Thanks Allison! The pictures seemed very typical without the processing so just for fun I used BeFunky and other effects to make them more like a painting each time.

Nicely done!
