Centrepiece and table runner.

Last week while I was at the Embroiderers' Guild, one of the committee members came into the office and presented me with this centrepiece. She explained that an aunt had made it and given it to M, but she had so many already, she wondered if I would like to add it to my collection. Well of course - with grateful thanks! The colour in the top photo is not as true as the closeup, but you can see the design.
I couldn't resist this table runner from the USA via eBay; there was nothing quite like this sweet design in my collection.

Table Runner

This lovely runner arrived today from one of my favourite eBay sellers right here in Melbourne. I think they have an antique shop, and list some of their wares on eBay as well. The linens are always immaculately presented, and it is hard not to bid on just about everything they list!
