Dare we hope that spring is on its way? After a winter of frozen water pipes, deep freezing cold, and way too much snow, everyone needs a break, all around the world it seems.

Please come visit the website to see two new reproductions: Mary Bailey, and Memento Mori, the latter just off the press today. There is a "new" antique (an oxymoron), Margaret TIllman.

There are a few limited edition accessories on sale while supplies last including pewter pincushions, bone needle/thimble boxes and needleboxes. For a limited time, while supplies last, I will include a historic English reproduction pewter thimble with every order over $35.00.

I've welcomed four new alpacas to Smoke Ham Farm. Meet Branko (the blonde), Percy Didier, Hershey and Schwartz. 

All the best,
Marsha

Memento Mori is an unusual design which unites seventeenth and eighteenth century needlework traditions including the narrow vertical shape and the wide range of stitches.
