Adorn Your Heart

From Paulette : This sampler was inspired by an antique sampler I own and features a pink cow that truly stole my heart when I saw it! The verse reads: “Adorn your heart, adorn your mind with knowledge of the sweetest kind.” Truly what we think about in our hearts can add to or take away from our wellbeing, which is why I love this reminder so much. And of course I enjoyed designing the pink house with the thatched roof, and the two pink bunnies on the pincushion!
