All ready with some new additions for this weekend's Fair in Carlisle, Cumbria .....A pair of chintz curtains, a rosebud and spot cloth, kitchen jugs and a large embroidered picture with the most detailed work.
A village scene done with a variety of stitches and plenty of patience....I love the naive quality and the perilous angle of the church!
Not particularly old ....unlike these two 1940's embroidered pictures....
But the skill, time and effort would have been exactly the same.
Two vintage, Scottish mohair lovelies.....a scarf and a shawl.... in pretty pastel colours.
And my little favourite....
The cutest photo of a baby in a vintage photo frame,
So sweet....
Hope you all have good weekend,
Back soon,
Julie x
P.S.Thank you for all your lovely comments and a big hello to my new followers too!

The precarious angle of the church makes the picture really! Hope you have a successful weekend.
ReplyDeleteHello Julie:
ReplyDeleteThe detailed work in the embroidered pictures is truly remarkable. Such patience would be needed and such a delicate touch for this fine work. We are sure that someone will wish to own these treasures.
Wishing you a successful sale, may the cash register never stop ringing!!
Bellissimo!!!!

Hello Julie
ReplyDeleteThe embroidery is beautifully stitched. I also love the colours in the mohair blanket and scarf.
And the baby, so innocent and huggable.

Love the embroideries - see what you mean by the church being at a funny angle ;-)

The mohair rugs are just what everyone needs at this time of the year: perfectly comforting on a winters day. Good luck with the Fair.

I do love the first embroidery with the wonky church - charming!
ReplyDeleteI love those old embroidered pictures - and in fact have the same one as you have there - the crinoline lady in the garden. Boot sale buy for a pound last year. They are fab, aren't they. Getting harder to find though.
ReplyDeleteLoveky pair of jugs there Julie!!

Lovely, I ment LOVELY!!!
ReplyDeleteLove that plump baby, although it always makes me sad to see such pictures for sale - I wonder why someone would ever give such a photo away...
ReplyDeleteHI Julie, I hope that you had a good Fair this weekend, and that the weather didn't foul things up for you. The mohair is lovely, it reminds me of my mum who loved it, and had quite a few mohair jackets and coats and even skirts! Love Linda x
