Vintage Framed Cross-Stitch Sampler "Bless This House" | 1970s Needlework in Bon Marché Custom Wood Frame

Infuse cozy cottagecore warmth into your space with this charming vintage hand-stitched cross-stitch sampler. Dating from the 1960s to 1970s (approximately 50 to 60 years old), this folk-art piece features the classic sentiment "Bless This House O Lord we Pray" stitched in traditional Gothic/Fraktur-style lettering.

At the center is a sweet cottage flanked by two trees, framed inside a delicate wreath of blue, gold, and coral floral motifs tied with a bow. The piece is professionally housed in a solid, slim natural wood frame behind glass, complete with its original custom framing sticker from the historic Pacific Northwest department store The Bon Marché. Ready to hang with its attached rear wire, it makes a heartfelt housewarming gift or a lovely accent for an entryway, kitchen, or gallery wall.
