Country Bumpkin

I can't help but notice my sudden love of cross stitch and needlepoint prints and crafts. It doesn't really lend itself to my personal "style" but I just keep thinking, how cute would these be in a laundry room?












That's very "country bumpkin" of me. Or maybe I should say "primitive." The best one I found (not pictured) was $495 and made in the late 1800s. Now there's a primitive collectors item!

Until I build the house--and laundry room--of my dreams, I'll appreciate the time and work involved in these one-of-a-kind pieces.

  2. What?! I got all of them! Just kidding. I thought you would at least like the equestrian one. I guess this curntry, mountain air is gettin in my bones. It's time to come home, no?

  3. There were several of these needle point pieces I saw when shopping in Highlands. I was so tempted but did not purchase.

    They would look fantastic in a laundry room, A. Lee.

  4. Were any of the photos from Remnants in Anderson? A couple look familiar. The women in my family all cross stiched and did needlepoint. As a child, I pouted when my mom forced me to learn to at least crosstich. Now, I am honored to have my great grandmother's chairs that she did in needlepoint in my home and I covet after my mother's sweet cross stitching she has throughout their home. There is something so special about the hours of love that went into these "homey" creations.

  5. Thanks Sb, for the support!

    Dot, one of those is from Remnants. I love those needlepoint chairs in your house. So special! I have Andrew's dad's mother's chair that she made. Love it.
