The Flea Markets have opened for the season, so on the weekend off I went. I haven't been to the markets for years, and, frankly, I was surprised by all the booty. Among other things, I couldn't resist this print. As you can see the frame has pulled away at the top, but I am hoping it can be easily fixed. (If you happen to be a framer or have any suggestions, please leave a comment.) Also, the glass was scratched in several places, but a buffing with toothpaste on a soft cloth did the trick. I found the name of the print thanks to Google. To Pastures New is by the Scottish painter James Guthrie. As soon as I saw this print, I knew I'd be taking it home. I also have my eyes on a Limoges tea set, (too expensive for me, but I may make an offer next week if it is still there) and I'd love to own an antique secretary desk. Actually, there was a beautiful desk that an astute lady bought while I was admiring it. Apparently, if you snooze you lose. * * * On the needles...
Thanks, Melissa. I think it's a little treasure, too. I can't wait to hang it up! :-)
The first one is the shawl "Tulip Tree," and the second one is "Camellia Lace Scarf" by Evelyn Clark. "Camellia" reminds me of Queen Anne's Lace which I love.

thanks ~ I thought the Tulip Tree looked familiar (I love Queen Anne's Lace as well ~ I have it queued for 'someday')
What a darling print! Wish it were mine.:)
