Description

This delightful vintage cross stitch sampler features the beloved quote 'A house is made of brick and stone, a home is made of love alone,' rendered in cheerful blue script with expert hand-stitching throughout. The colorful needlework centerpiece depicts a cozy cottage flanked by lush green trees, blooming flower borders, and sweet red hearts accenting the design with warmth and personality. It is professionally matted with a double mat in dusty rose and olive green, then set inside an ornate gold frame with classic acanthus leaf and beaded detail molding that adds a touch of Victorian elegance. The back is sealed with kraft paper and hung with a black wire hanger, suggesting professional framing and careful preservation over the years.
