I Bought Three Rembrandts!!!


...Three Rembrandt needlepoints canvases ~ that is! Oh my! These three canvases are old and gorgeous. They still have the original price tag from Marshall Field & Co~ $2.95 marked down to $1.50!!! Oh I only wish I had paid a $1.50 for each~ but as luck would have it~ needlepoints get better and more valuable with time (like fine wines?). Anyway the backgrounds were unfinished, so off to the stitch artist they go~ or as one lovely lady called her ~ my indentured servant, my dear daughter, working off her college tuition.

Sharon,
Those are gorgeous!! What a 'Stitch Artist' find! I think that the very first one is calling our MI house LR. Please let me know when you start working on them, and have fun!

Hi Sharon,
They are all gorgeous. I can't wait to see what you do with them when your servant finishes the grunt work. (Did I just say that?)
