These little jugs came home with me as I have several Crinoline Lady pieces. I found a couple of books - one on walks in Arthurian Wales and the other herbal remedies. At the same stall as the latter book I found this rather oddball rugmaker. I'm not sure if I will use it, but I can at least offer it to a friend who might, rather than it being consigned to a bin.
Finally I found this beautiful x-stitch angel, which became mine for just £2. Considering the hours of work which went into this, I reckon I got a bargain. We'll frame it up and put it in the guest bedroom.

Is the Crinoline Lady British Isles creation? I always think of the American South.
I think that's one of the best cross stitches I've seen. I love the way they can make those little square stitches look rounded.

Great bargains! Isn't it fun to find treasures like that?
Goodness that Angel is lovely. You're very lucky to have found her, and the jugs are very sweet too :)

Great finds! The jug with the lady is beautiful, as is the angel x-stitch!
