In this month's Issue ...
Not so much that's new - it's holiday/vacation season and we've been away ourselves!
Part of our trip took us to the Forêt de Brocéliande in central Brittany, France in which lies a magical area with an enchanted spring ...
Unfortunately we didn't see any fairies. Perhaps a little vin de pays would have helped.
New Designs from Nora Corbett
Congratulations to Nora Corbett of Mirabilia Designs now celebrating her silver anniversary - designing for 25 years. Her beautiful designs of fairies, mermaids and ladies have given and are continuing to give great pleasure to many stitchers around the world.
We have the Alice (of Wonderland fame) in ribbons and lace with her own pocket watch is another new Mirabilia design (from Nora Corbett of course).
Last month we tried to order some of the other new Nora Corbett designs like Butterfly Fairy, Lady of the Flag, the Queen Mermaid, the Seaside Kingdom and the fairy Moon but Wichelt cancelled our order. We really don't know why we (and other retailers) weren't able to get these patterns given the hoo-ha about the 25th Anniversary.
New Kits from Lanarte and Vervaco
The second Vervaco 2018 Collection is also now available. We have chosen some designs in shades of grey (one with a splash of red) and a sepia design.
Bargain Basement - towels, tea towels, toilet roll holders and some foodie samplers.
And Finally ...
The title this month comes from a short poem by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
Answer July
Where is the Bee
Where is the Blush
Where is the Hay?
Ah, said July
Where is the Seed
Where is the Bud
Where is the May
Answer Thee Me.
Well, we have all these bounties this year and we hope our untypically glorious summer never ends!
We wish you untypically glorious weather wherever you are.
