She was the most wonderful seamstress~sewing most of the small towns wedding dresses. I wanted to learn how to embroidery. She taught me that day, and just this past Monday I bought some beautiful embroidery thread to start again, using it in my art. My favorite stitch was (and is) the French Knot. When I did it correctly, she praised me. Which was not easy, as she spoke German and only a very broken English. She was very reserved.<BR/>I love the small (shell?) button right under the picture~placed just so. <BR/>Hugs to you tonight....you helped me remember a good memory.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09270079078668353875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26118104.post-67762361126114652602008-02-20T21:43:00.000-05:002008-02-20T21:43:00.000-05:00This is lovely!

Google sponsors it and it's FREE...Free to list, free to sell and I can use Google checkout for credit cards now (tiny fee) and they deposit right into my checking account. I love the look of it too...plus I can sell all types of small easy to ship antiques, books or my handmades. I just wanted to share because another venue is always "a good thing" I feel like "e*ay" is a little full of itself....Hope you're having a wonderful day! xxoo, DawnThe Feathered Nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16834706040445842112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26118104.post-55626634574565776732008-02-20T13:55:00.000-05:002008-02-20T13:55:00.000-05:00I had to tell you that my immediate reaction to th...I had to tell you that my immediate reaction to this was that it was my grandmother and her flowers.
