I've had some lovely mail, this time from Doreen in Australia. We swapped an ATC and this is the one Doreen made for me. I think it's lovely and I especially love the image of the girl! Looks like she's peeking into an envelope! (looks like me, except a lot skinnier! lol) Anyway... moving on.. thank you very much Doreen, I really love it!
But wait! There's more! Doreen enclosed a little tray cloth for me! I was so excited, it's beautiful, and all the little stitches are so perfect, I don't know how they did it. I can never get my stitches so neat and even! Thank you Doreen, and I'm sorry to say this tray cloth won't be cut to bits and added to art work, but will be added to my growing collection of linen treasures!
Speaking of linen treasures, I bought this from Trademe recently, it was with a bunch of old linen. It is a very old linen laundry bag. It was used by the owner on the ship that bought her to New Zealand in 1870. I'm amazed it is in such great condition! Wouldn't it be great if these old pieces could talk and tell you the story of their lives?
Well must off,Carole ;D
