Springer Spaniel Embroidery

 

I love researching vintage embroidery patterns online.

I often see the same popular patterns

over and over again.

Needless to say, I always get excited

when I see something unique.

 

That was the case when I stumbled

across this painted and embroidered

vintage piece.

You can see the painted fabric clearer on the

background hills.

 

I'm not sure when this piece was made.

I've seen a similar painted

piece in a 40's McCall's magazine,

but the subject matter was very different.

 

Having a friend who breeds Springer Spaniels

just made this find that more special!

Here's one of the sweet puppies my children

got to meet recently!

Yes, we have more snow today.  My back deck railing

makes for easy measuring -- at least six inches.

 

Six inches isn't much in some areas of this country,

but in the mountains of West Virginia,

it doesn't take much to make these hilly roads

slick, slick, slick!

 

At least that's what I tell my husband

who grew up near Lake Erie's lake

effect snow!

 

 

Stay safe.
