jeana, these were just little gems i picked up at a yard sale. i think the cross-stitch squares were probably for a quilt. the "thou art my hope" is embroidered on paper and i think it was a bookmark. i wish i had more history... xo!
What yard sales do you go to?!!?? It must be a southern thing. All we have at yard sales up here are Sticky Tonka Toys and Scrabble Boards with half the pieces missing. I really need to get my Blanche DuBois on and move south. I really do... I think I have the delicate temperment for it.
you should move south! we can stitch over tea! with the sales - morbid, but you have to find the ones where someone has kicked the bucket... (a woman asked me recently where i got all my linens, and when i told her that, she was horrified..)
It makes me think of Miss Marple! Tell us more...please? I love these recent postings.
