Thrifty Picture Find #2

 

I came across this picture in the summer.

I saw the black frame first.

Black always makes me take a second look.

 

 

When I pulled it up, I just thought, "Ahhhh".

A young lady,

 sitting at the spinning wheel,

hand-stitched,

in black cross-stitch.

 

 

Finding a place for all my wonderful picture finds

is always a challenge.

 

But pictures don't always have to be hung on the wall.

They can easily be tucked in with a vignette.

 

 I have the picture sitting on an old singer sewing machine table,

leaning against a small vintage ironing board.

 

 

I added a few Fall touches.

A small white ceramic pumpkin that I purchased at our local grocery store.

A handmade primitive pear that came in a set of three,

can easily be tucked in.

 

 

 I made up this Fall candle with the glass jar purchased at the dollar store.

The mason jar was attached to the bottom piece and had a lid on it.

It's much easier than gluing the two pieces together!

 

 

 I added some mini pumpkin pods and set a glass votive inside.

I love the look of a candle and I have them throughout my home.

 

 

I think she looks pretty sitting there.

For now.

Soon, the Christmas décor will be coming out,

and she may go into hiding for a little while.

 

But for now, she is sitting pretty with the other antique and thrifty finds.

 

We just had our Canadian Thanksgiving this past weekend.

It was a beautiful sunny and warm weekend.

But the weather has been changing.

More Fall like.

Cool outside and cozy inside.

 

Sending warm and cozy blessings to you,
