I think they seem to take their craft more seriously..and lets face it a british accent on a dude is just yummy! Ok, I digress. <br /><br />The table runner has me green all over with envy. You have something special in that table runner. It's edge with crochet lace and the body appears to be hardanger it's lovely. I once did a piece of this (a zillion years ago when I was young) on 22 count fabric...it was an angel..., but I held my breath when I had to cut those threads. You should give it a try, it really was fun. <br /><br />Wishing you a most lovely day. :) Stitchy Mc Floss https://www.blogger.com/profile/00562041622656969121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-41023529738471294332014-03-14T03:30:56.118-07:002014-03-14T03:30:56.118-07:00Great finds Edgar.

When I see lovely handcrafted things I always wonder what type of person made it and when, in what circumstances it came to be offered to a new home.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863899802782756191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-43246491173923201762014-03-13T19:17:55.936-07:002014-03-13T19:17:55.936-07:00Had to comment on this one- I have that exact &quo...Had to comment on this one- I have that exact "Night Before Christmas" book- I have had it since I was a kid :) Your other finds are wonderful too!Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01902462980319045892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-14785185556765525982014-03-13T19:14:38.987-07:002014-03-13T19:14:38.987-07:00Wow, that hardanger piece is gorgeous!Wow, that hardanger piece is gorgeous!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03646028248366805686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-35097885777092167582014-03-13T17:43:57.712-07:002014-03-13T17:43:57.712-07:00Edgar, great runner.

Glad you appreciate them as I do.<br /><br />I have a weakness for cookbooks. I have two large boxes of them up in my attic. I just can't seem to make myself get rid of them, though.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012718481371649308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-9172134126159443802014-03-13T06:57:27.769-07:002014-03-13T06:57:27.769-07:00Wow!
