Friendship + Remember Me, Pair of Early Punch Paper Embroideries on Ribbon fire house which is much of what

which is much of what makes it so lovely

which I also think is pretty genius: of course one wants to see inside a piggy bank to watch one's nickels and dimes accumulating

and would strongly suggest it was made in a grocery store for actual store use

I find this bowl about as beautiful as it gets

Friendship + Remember Me, Pair of Early Punch Paper Embroideries on Ribbon fire house which is much of whatTwo more 19th c. punch paper embroideries on ribbons, one of them marked "1814," I presume the date of its making, though hard to know for certain. Found together and I think quite apt as a pair, so I offer them up as such. Friendship: 7 5 8 x 1 1 16 overall. Remember Me: 7 1 4 x 1 1 16. Some wear to the pink ribbon of friendship but both embroideries in very good condition.
