So being a Swede, I can tell you that the name on the sampler is definitely Swedish - she even kept the dots over Stromvall (which loosely translated means "stream wall" or "stream wave"). What is even more interesting is that she then embroidered the English alphabet; she omitted the last three letters in the Swedish alphabet. Also, the letter w is not commonly used in Swedish. All of this really makes me wonder about the history behind your beautiful find!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230891840459730672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-8479734340193318582011-03-07T19:02:42.736-08:002011-03-07T19:02:42.736-08:00Congrats on your great shopping!Congrats on your great shopping!the old cronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07184309340858085545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-33021376005966715022011-03-07T15:41:47.879-08:002011-03-07T15:41:47.879-08:00Wow!
