Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files.
The meme is now continued by River at Drifting through life. The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent. Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to River.
Like River I generally run with a theme. This week I am returning to one of my bigger obsessions - birds. For a change though, I am not featuring the birds that visit us, but some of the birds that live in our home.
The first is our most recent acquisition. We certainly don't need it, but it makes me smile.
The second is a piece of bobbin lace - designed and made by my mother. She decided that she wanted to know how to make bobbin lace, and set about teaching herself. Incredible.
An antique piece of embroidery I found at an auction. It is over a hundred years old - and I love it. And admire the skill.
This is one of the first counted cross stitches I ever did.
