Yesterday, I met up with an old college friend; we went to some antique shops in the area. I scored some perfect tatting shuttles for the Mad Tatter. She already has them in her possession, so no pictures! I also scored some Duchess hoops. Both are in great condition and the best part of all - they were only $2 each. Also bought this darning egg and tomato pincushion. Not pictured are the Tom and Jerry glasses I snatched up. Remember when you could by grape jelly in a jar and use it as a glass later? The glasses would have cartoon characters on them. Fun day, fun purchases.
My friend reminded me of a piece that I stitched for her a long time ago. Even after seeing it I didn’t remember stitching it, but sure enough, I had signed the back of it and dated it “2001.” I don’t have any recollection who designed this piece!
Tonight I’m going to start some prework for some upcoming classes I will be taking with Cathy Habermann at our guild retreat in August. Hope you had a great weekend!

Now that sounds like a fun day. What a very pretty design. Yes, I do remember those jelly glasses!
What super finds you came across! The piece you stitched for your friend is timeless. Enjoy your week!
When an elderly friend passed away several years ago, her daughter gave me cross-stitch pieces that I had stitched for her mother over the years of our friendship. There were several that I had forgotten about stitching!
Wow! Lucky you...great finds! Have a fabulous week...
The picture at the bottom reminds me of Margaret and Margaret (I think that's the correct name) charts.
Nice purchases!
