New Witney Antiques Exhibit of 17th & 18th c Needleworks

 Choice & Precious Work




If you are in England ZOOM to Witney Antiques and check out their current exhibit, Choice & Precious Work. Firstly, it is amazingly FREE, and secondly, it is the first of two exhibits that will be showcasing the Elizabeth Hall suite of 17th c needlework & embroidery. Later pieces from the 18th c have been added to  her collection by her descendants. I cannot stress to my Dear readers enough how very rare these pieces are, and that they have been so well taken care of and passed down through the family together. This is a once in a lifetime change to view such a collection~ if you cant get there, then order the catalogue! It can be had directly from Witney Antiques, or if you are in the US the Attic Needleworks will be carrying it here shortly, so give them a ring and reserve yourself a copy!

Taking a Gap Year?

  Did you Miss a Year?

I am very disappointed to announce that I will not be offering a new heirloom ornament kit this year. There are several reasons, none of which matter to get into because it will not change the outcome! I have had a really glorious kit planned for this year, so will be pushing it forward to 2024, and hopefully I will be able to get it out earlier than later. In the meantime, I guess this means Im taking a gap year~ so if there are any of the kits of previous years you haven't got yet, here is your chance!  

My kits from 2016 to 2020 are limited edition kits. Meaning, that once my kitted quantity iss sold, they will not be sold again. 

Kits from 2021 on are still somewhat limited editions, meaning that they will be sold for as long as I am able to source the materials for them.  2021's Flemish Coffer is a good example~ I am currently awaiting materials to come in for that one before I can restock it, so it is currently unavailable.

If you are interested in purchasing a kit, just drop me an email at rlkinnison@yahoo.com and I can send a Paypal invoice.
