CiCi was parting with some of her incredible books. This one was $2.00. Some of the motifs inside knock my socks off!
And, just when I thought I'd wear blinders for the entire day, I came accross this design from the sampler collection of The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center:
Per the pattern: "This design is an adaptation of a motif found on a seventeenth century English band sampler in the collection of Vassar College." I thought it was so pretty & was delighted GF Ruth Ann was paring down her stash!I found a nice book with doll patterns -- and, a wonderful doll kit at Sue's table -- and she was mighty generous handing me a giant shopping bag of LACE. Thank you so much! More about those items HERE.

Catching up on blog reading after our days away, and I just love what you've been showing. Great fair wins, as always. :D and those deer are just wonderful!
Lelia,
Is there any way you can give me more information on the Flowers and Acorns Box design? I would like to try to find a copy and thought I might do an internet search. Thanks, Barbie brdstitcher at gmail dot com
