BARGAINS - SAMPLERS - X.STITCH

 Today I returned to my local secondhand market after being away for more than a month. I came away with these 3 items. A little french clock 6 Euro, which I have always seen in magazines and always wanted, a glass heart shaped dish 1 Euro and what seems to be a letter rack...I think 12 Euro....  

Oggi per la prima volta dopo un mese sono tornata al mio mercatino preferito. Ho trovato un l'orologio francese 6 Euro, una ciotola a forma di cuore 1Euro e una porta lettere per appendere 12 Euro.....

 I love the carving and the old green paint......

The clock has soon found its place...............Now where do I hang the letter rack...........

At the moment I am cross stitching this little " FLORAL GARDEN " pattern which I bought fromNIKY ,it reminds me of these samplers, which my sister gave me.....they are only prints but from a distance they look like the real thing.

Al momento sto ricamando "FLORAL GARDEN"  una schema comprato da NIKY , e stranamente mia sorella mi ha regalato queste "sampler"......sono soltanto stampe.....ma da lontano sembrano veramente ricamate.
