Childhood Dreams – Little Girl’s Purses

June 20, 2007 By Patricia Geary

Photograph of Little Girl's Purses Counted Cross Stitch.Little girls’ purses hold magical things,
Cookies, paper dolls, and “diamond” rings.
But this treasure is nothing to the magic one finds
In little girls hearts and little girls minds.

This piece was stitched on white 14 count Aida and framed in a fire engine red frame. It was a gift to my brother and his family in May 1985. The colors are much more vibrant that what the picture shows.

    My Aunt made this for me and my 3 older sisters when we were little. I am so happy to have found it on your site, I would love to have it for my daughter. Do you have the pattern or know where I might be able to buy the pattern or even one that is already a finished product? Thank you!

    Sydney, I don’t believe this patterns is available any longer. I sent you a link for two places I fund it online. I will look through my charts later today and see if I still have it and let you know.

    Unfortunately I no longer have the chart. You can try searching for the first line of the poem and see if you can find it on ebay or one of the other cross stitch sites.

    I was in hopes of finding a copy of this poem , I would like to cross-stitch it for my granddaughter. I had made this for my daughter when she was born back in 1977, My daughter was born with many special needs and we were blessed to have her in our lives for 11 1/2 years before is passed away. this poem has always been on my mind and after moving I was unable to fine it. I have tried but with no luck until a friend told me to google it she found your web site and showed it to me it brought tears to my eyes and may memories back , If anyone has a copy of this I would be so happy if I could get a copy . Thank you for listening
