Anne, a friend has given me a stack of Christmas ornament cross stitch magazines. I was going to list them on eBay, or give them to the opshop, but then I remembered your love of ornies! So you are welcome to them all. Have a look when you visit!
Gina
Hi there – I met you at the CA wells workshop in Glen Forest last year – I think I have a spare of the Nostalgic Needle Glove Scissor case. I bought it then bought the whole set (still waiting to be done) – if I come across it it’s yours if you still desire it. Cheers Joanne
I would love to send you a copy of “Surf and Sand,” Anne. Please just remind me of it in January sometime. I’m leaving for Boston for Christmas and won’t remember!! Merry Christmas to you! Hugs, Deb
I am looking for a pattern that one of four by Kappie Originals Ltd. The collector’s Gallery. Have the Tiffany windows all three and am now looking for the fourth in this collection. I remember it had a peacok on, and it was very colorful. Willing to pay top Dollar for this Pattern. These where out for sale in 1988.
Thank you for your time.
Durell Bosworth
I know you posted you were searching for the peacock pattern for the Kappie tiffany window..did you ever find it? If not, let me know and I’ll go searching, I did the pattern already, and I think i may still have it. If I do and can find it youre welcome to it:) I did my version using metalling blending filaments for the entire bird and fountain…Hopefully you found it already, but if not, as i said I’ll go hunting for my copy..:) Annette
Anne,
I have looked ALL over the place to find CA Wells Pyramid etui. I even received a wonderful meail from her telling me it’s not available. It’s absolutely gorgeous. I would love to buy this from you if you still have it please? I don’t know why I NEED this one so much, I have plenty but for some reason, your pictures of this pattern really caught my whishing bone!
Thank you!
Anne, I can help you out with some of the threads – drop me an email and we can discuss it. I’m trying to destash at the minute and would be happy to share 🙂
Anne
I just finished with my Catherine Agnes Sampler chart, can bring it with me on Sunday! Can you email me please .
Ta!
Amanda
OOh, also have the SB beehive needleroll too, inadvertently got it twice, so you are welcome to it too! Will bring it with me too!
hugs
Amanda
Anne,
I have the Lavender and Lace Celtic Winter. I noticed that you do not have on your stach list or wishlist Celtic Summer which I also have. I am willing to trade for Teresa Wentzler’s Christmas ornaments, Fruit and Floral Wreaths, Topiary Trees. Email me and let me know. Thanks!
I have the kit Dogwood Stitchery by Moss Creek. The kit is complete and everything is included. I will never stitch this, so I googled it to see if I could find a pic to put on ebay and your blog came up. I thought I’d check to see if you are interested before I put it on an auction site or another XS BB.
Phyllis
Hello, I have from your’s wishlist Lavender & Lace design’s. I want – TOLD IN A GARDEN “Baby in Basket”. If interested – i’ll wait you answer on e’mail and send for you.
Hi Anne,
I have several things from your wishlist for sale – one of the Lorri Birmingham needle rolls, several of the Victoria’s sampler Beyond XS kits, Rainbow Gallery threads, Mill Hill beads and treasures.
Drop me an e-mail and I will send you a link to my Photobucket albums and the Rainbow gallery list. I am also open to trades.
Hi Anne!
I’ve got Lorri Birmingham’s Pansy Needlecase & Fob if you would like it. I’ll probably never stitch it.
Anne…I have the Just Nan, Hootzi Humbug Pattern. It is used with no extras. I will be happy to send it to you if you wish.
Anne…I mailed you the humbug pattern a couple of weeks ago already. I hope it is not lost in the mail.
It wasn’t there when I went to the PO Box on Monday – unfortunately I haven’t had chance to call in since then, but I’m hoping to drive by on the way to work this morning. The mail is notorious here, it often takes a minimum of 2 weeks from the US 🙂 I’ll drop you a quick line as soon as it arrives 🙂 Hugs, Anne
Hello…I am looking for a pattern by Cross My Heart entitled “Eye Of The Tiger”. It is out of print and the company has closed that manufactured it. I would be ever so grateful to locate and buy it if at all possible. Thank you.
Sorry Cindy, I don’t have that chart.
I have the Shepherd’s Bush stocking charts that you may still want. I am seeking Goode Huswife’s With My Needle. I hope to hear from you.
Are you still wanting Shades of Winter by From Nancy’s Needle. Have it and have stitched it.
These are just a couple of explanations why cheap purses are generally worthless. You shouldn’t be swayed through initial looks. Cheap purses will stress your eyes and may request UVrelated attention ailments for example cataracts as well as macular damage.
