Another Terrific Sale

THANK YOU!

 THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

to all of you who have purchased my frames.  The first sale is 

almost sold out.  There are a few things left on the previous

post.  Here is the next batch of frames plus a few other things

thrown in for good measure.

First I'll do the odd ball things and then move on to

frames.  Hope you find something you need.  Remember

these are things that are left over from my Shoppe days,

so not everything will be in its prettiest state, but still

a good value.

Terrific Frame Sale

Hi Everyone!

Months and months ago I talked about wanting to

do a huge sale on limited stock and frames that

I do not sell anymore.  These frames have been

residing in a storage unit that I have been renting

now for four years.  It is time to stop paying

rent on all of this stuff.  The first step was a

huge sale on DMC cones.  These cones retail

for $19.95 and I'm selling them for $7.00.

~450 yards~

They are listed in my ETSY shoppe

I still have lots of cones.  They are great for

dyeing your own floss, punch needle, and

of course lots of stitching.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Frames are listed as collections.  These

are all less than wholesale.  The price is

listed under get collection.  Of course, there

will be shipping.  I cannot ship these

frames outside of the states.  I'm sorry

about that.

I hope you see something you cannot live without.

Remember, these would be great with your small

stitcheries for your stitching friends, especially

for Christmas.

I might have more of all of these frames.  There

are so many to go through, but I thought I would

start with this group to see if there is any interest.

Remember, the prices are below wholesale, so it

is a really good deal.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you want any of these, please refer to the large

number and I will put it aside for you.

I take Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, and checks.

Happy Framing,

Sandra

Something For Someone!

Good Afternoon Everyone!

If you read my last blog post you know I went to

Luckett, VA on Saturday to their wonderful Spring Show.

I didn't buy much, but did pick up a few things

that I thought someone would love.

I love this and, of course, considered keeping it

myself, but if you could see my house you

would know that I do not need anything else.

This was labeled as a child's tin lunch pail, but

I immediately thought, what a neat stitching

pail.  It is adorable!  Note the the heart shaped

part of the handle on the side and the neat lid handle.

We just don't see things like this anymore.

It is worn and loved.  I would suggest cleaning

it and putting a nice coat of wax inside and

out.  If you only want to display it, I wouldn't

do anything to it.

It would also make a wonderful flower

container.  I love using things for flower

arrangements that would never have been

used that way before.

Anyway, here are a few views.  

Measurements ~

7 3/4" wide X 4" deep X 4 1/4" high X

6 3/4" high including the carrying handle.
SOLD ~ THANK YOU
CHERYL!

Asking $30.00 + shipping!

I take Paypal, Visa, Mastercard, and checks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hope someone loves it.

Sandra

A Little Glimpse

Good Evening Everyone!

Hope you've had a great weekend.  It has been really

busy around here.  Hollis and I got to go do some long

over due antiquing on Saturday.  We made the trek

to Luckett, Virginia for a huge Spring show.  The

weather was threatening the whole day.  It rained

the whole way there, so much so that we thought

about turning around and going home, but we

stuck it out and it stopped raining.  It was amazing.

When we left in the late afternoon, it started

raining again.  We were so lucky.  Another first

was that Lehmer-Papa, and Paul-Dada baby sat

for Avery so we could go.  They survived without

a scratch, so I hope this won't be our last day out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before I head back to Richmond in the morning

to take care of Avery, I wanted to share a 

"little glimpse" of some new designs coming

your way soon.  Hope you like them!

Please let me know what you think~

I'll be back in a few days.  Take care.

"Many Happy Stitches",

Sandra

Something New!

Good Evening!

We had a beautiful day here in Virginia, a little

on the warm side though.  It has been a really

strange Spring for Virginia.  Usually it is really

hot by now, but we have had mostly cool days

and a lot of rain.  I'm not complaining about

the rain.  Last year was really dry.  Lehmer has

been cutting the grass every few days.  He hasn't

started fussing yet, but it won't be long now.

I need to find the time to get my flowers and

then get them in pots and in the ground.  Where

does the time go.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

~On to my news ~

I hope you like Sewing Birds.

I've always loved them and was lucky to find

a few to add to my collection many years

ago.  Now they are so pricey.  In fact, any

stitching tool is over the top expensive,

unless you just get lucky.  Well, I have one for

you that you don't have to pay a fortune

for, plus you get the fun of stitching it.

 ~SEWING BIRD~

You get two designs, plus the small design is shown

stitched over one for a wonderful ornament,

scissor fob, or even a pendant to wear.

I did the original design years ago, but it is

timeless and I still love it.  I did bunches of

3/4 stitches in the original (which is pictured),

but I will regraph it without those annoying

3/4 stitches.  There may be a few if necessary,

but I hope not.

Anyway, let me know what you think.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Many Happy Stitches,

Sandra

New Stuff!

Good Afternoon!

Hope all is well with all of you.  Faye and I have 

had a really busy day trying to get these two new books

out to our Distributors and we made it.  Yeah!!

Now let me tell you about them.  The first is, of course,

"Peacock Manor"

Sampler & Runner.

I hope you love it as much as I do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you have been following Homespun Elegance

for years, then you know I have a collection

of Annual Christmas Ornaments, including

Santas, Samplers, and Snowmen.  Well, I have

decided to retire some of these as individual

designs and put them in collections.  The

first one will be of the Santas ~ from

1995 ~ 2002.  You will get eight Santa designs

in this first collection. 

"Annual Santa Ornaments"

1995~2002

I hope you will think this is a good idea.  A great

value for $12.00.  These are normally $8.50 each.

The only difference is you will not receive

the embellishment as in the single design, but

they are available Open Stock.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have many new things to show you in the

days to come.  So, I'll be back soon.

"Many Happy Stitches",

Sandra

Quick Post

Hi Everyone!

"Peacock Manor" Sampler~Runner

is almost ready, so I thought I would share.

I found a frame in my collection of olde frames.

I think it is great.  Of course, it is not perfect

the way a professional framer would do it, but

I'm happy with it because I like imperfection.

I hope to ship next week.  Please let me

know what you think.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you are celebrating Mother's Day tomorrow,

I hope it is wonderful.

Many Happy Stitches,

Sandra

Mother's Day Wishes

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Have you ever felt like a Mother Hen?  Well, if you have,

then I think you are a good Mother.  I know I have been

accused of over mothering, but I can't help myself.  

Is it a bad thing?  I don't know.

I just love my children ~

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Don't you

love my chalk ware hen and her babies.  I've had 

her for years and she usually resides on my porch.

But, since Mother's Day is fast approaching, I 

felt she deserved coming into the house for a while.

Anyway, I hope each and every one of my friends

who have had the joy of being a Mother, have the

most wonderful day tomorrow.  

Blessings to all of you,

Sandra

Do You Remember This Post?

Hi Everyone!

Back on January 12, 2012, I posted about

this "vintage" runner and asked you what you

thought I should do with it.

Well, this is what I decided t do with it ~~

"PEACOCK MANOR" sampler.

The stitching is finished, but not the finishing.

I have to find the perfect frame.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

When it is published, you will receive the entire runner plus

the "Peacock Manor" sampler.  I hope you are pleased with

my decision.  I think it is great.  Please let me know what

you think.

Wishing you "Many Happy Stitches" and a

wonderful weekend.

Sandra
