The tipping point for me
when deciding whether or not to rescue treasure
can sometimes be what's revealed on the 'wrong' side
fabric can be much nicer when flipped over
garments, especially knitwear if pilled, can look way better when turned inside out
and other items when turned backwards
will sometimes reveal their secrets
as was the case with this framed rose tapestry
after bargaining the price down to an almost acceptable amount
I discovered evidence of Providence on the back
which was all I needed to make my mind up
gladly handing over the cash
this pretty Orchid Petit Point Tapestry

| Framing & Tapestry by Evelyn Turner [Auntie Eve] for our 40th Wedding Anniversary July 31st 1985 |
this pretty Orchid Petit Point Tapestry
was another lovely surprise
so beautifully hand stitched
it wasn't until I looked on the back
that I realised she wasn't in fact a piece of framed fabric
I am very pleased to be able to offer
Auntie Eves thoughtful gift & the hand stitched Orchids
a new home
along with all the other orphans
adorning the walls
they will be admired for many years to come
before being rescued [I have no doubt] by someone else
just as appreciative as I
I do like the wall you are building up. Love all the different hoops especially.
