Another show and tell...

I spent another weekend antiquing. I have sooo much fun doing that!

You won't believe what I found!!!

This is a Victorian scissor frog.It is very large-measuring about 6 inches across.

It didn't come with the base, so I found a silver decorative base that I think goes beautifully with it, and it is a perfect fit.

I am not going to polish them, I think they look wonderful with their age showing.

For right now I think that this scissor frog will just be a shop model.
I don't think I could part with it yet.

It seems to be quite a rare frog, I must enjoy it for a while.

I think we will have to have an auction for it when it is time to sell.

There is already interest in it.

These other two are just sweet. The clear class is a pressed glass with a frog inside and the pink pitcher I just couldn't pass up. Pink glass is my favorite. I thought this would hold various stitchery tool well.

A few more frogs....

We just can't keep these in stock! I am lucky to be able to find a few beauties now and then. These are my latest finds.
This pressed glass sugar and creamer set is perfect as a scissor frog, and a creamer catch all for your other tools.
As you well know, they will only be here for a short time. This one is already gone! I think it was at the shop only one hour!

Cute as a button...

I just love buttons and have jars of them.

A friend gave me a wonderful button necklace, and my wheels just started spinning.

Could I do something useful with my 1,000's of buttons?

That is when the idea of a needle threader came to mind.

It is like a jigsaw puzzle, sorting and stacking, finding just the right ones...

Aren't these cute!
I had a lot of fun doing them.

This is just the start, I think I will do fobs next!

New fabric for "Outerwear"

"Outerwear" is one of the best sellers in the shop! They are the covers that go over your scroll rods to keep your work clean. We are well stocked in all sizes and prints right now, but with the Embroidery Guild Seminar in town this month we expect them to go fast. This picture is of the new prints that will be out soon.
