Welcome to a slow stitcher and vintage lovers blog where all things are possible and whimsical. Creating is in my soul and so is treasure hunting for gorgeous old fabrics, buttons, linens & threads. There is something about truffling at vintage fairs for beautiful haberdashery and fabric. I adore the seasons, the hygge & cosy of Winter, the awakening of Spring, the changes of colours and crunching of leaves in Autumn and the bees, butterflies and ocean sounds of Summer. Enjoy XX

Web Appraisal: 1825 New Jersey Sampler ... a must watch for the surprise!
As I am in America I thought we would stay this way on this Saturday. Take a look at this amazing family heirloom and what a busy household with children found out. When a mother who had been handed down this stunning sampler from 1825 through her generations found when her son smashed the original glass of this sampler with a golf ball!
She was upset and I am sure angry with her son until what was uncovered would never have been found!
Why not make yourself a drink and watch this wonderful piece of film which is only a few minutes long. What an amazing find and it just goes to show we really do not know what fate will sometimes hand us......
I loved watching this and hope you do too! Have a wonderful weekend.....
And as always Happy Stitching!
