Since I don't have any stitching to share, I thought I'd show you one of my favorite recent purchases. Two weekends ago I went to a handmade boutique in White Bear Lake and fell in love with this tree made from recycled materials.
Note the rusty old funnel on the bottom, a dowel (perhaps from an old chair?), the star carved out of old wood, and the buttons. Don't you just love the buttons?
As I get my chores done today, my heart is heavy for all of those affected by the school shooting in Connecticut. Wishing them healing and peace after such a senseless tragedy.

I love your little tree too!
i do love the photos of your mum tatting, her work is lovely - the tree you picked up is awesome.
The tree is so cute! As I said on another blog, I am happy to see how sad we are as a nation. It gives me faith in our humanity.
love the tree!! denise
I LOVE that little tree...I'm only an hour from White Bear...wish I could have been there.
Beautiful tree which shows what beauty can come from ugliness. A single candle lit.
