For No Other Reason Than "It's Pretty" ... by Weezilou

For No Other Reason Than "It's Pretty" ...

When the art gallery in Lunenburg had a fund-raising sale shortly before we left, I saw and wanted to buy the pretty piece of needlework that was donated for sale by a friend of mine. I bought a number of items, but in the late afternoon, when this hadn't sold, she asked if I'd like to have it. She had a very touching story that went with it, and I told her it would be beautiful on my dining room wall. And so it is...

I think of my friend, it ties me to Lunenburg and the colors here just make me happy.

Having been busy with family for the past couple weeks, I'm going through photos and trying to fill in some blanks; thanks for stopping by!
What a very pretty piece of needlework and it goes so well on the glorious wallpaper too!

@judithdeacon Thanks, Judith, for your kind words. I suppose you can see why I love sitting in this room!

@allie912 Thanks, Allie! A lot of thought and work went into that matting; it's a wonderful piece, I think!

Such a beautiful piece of needlework . . . these treasured keepsakes are so important! I'm sure it means the world to your friend to know that you have her needlework hanging in such a prominent place in your house.
