Gentle Friends with this being a very short week for me, only two days, I'm going to double up on my usual posting stuff...... Over the weekend I finished up a Christmas WIP from last year.......
.... "Merry & Bright" designed by Erynne Chard
Stitched on Silkweaver 32ct "Sudden Storm" using assorted flosses
You can click HERE to go to her Blog and the pattern. It was a fun piece to work up and since it has sat in the WIP basket a year, it was about time I got it completed. I took the piece outside into the bright sunlight to get this snap and try and get a decent picture...

Saturday I also got to run around to the various Consignment/Thrift shops and found a few things......
From l to r and Fact based novel of the creation of "A Christmas Carol", "The Bucolic Plague" is Kilmer-Purcells' second memoir recounting the purchase of the 1802 Beekman Mansion and goat farm in Sharon Springs NY. I picked up 3 DVD's, "Fathers little Dividend," "The Bell's of St Trinian's," and Cartoon networks Halloween Cartoons. I also found a couple of nice pieces of cut glass, a small bright cut dish and a new (with the tags still on) Waterford Round Ring Holder. A great piece I found was a mid 19th century brass candle stick, above is before polishing.......
.... and after polishing, I love the look of old brass, it has such a great warm glow about it.....
That's about it for today sports fans, thanks again for stopping by do stop again!!
Take care,
edgar
