New England Tapestry

Well I am finally getting around to framing the tapestry we purchased on our vacation to New England! Better late than never I guess..I loved it at first sight and had the Antique shop remove it from it's existing frame so I could bring it home on the air plane.
Believe it or not I had this frame in my collection of old frames in our basement and since we are trying to weed through pieces we no longer need I discovered it was the perfect size and style.
One of my career paths was working in a framing shop and you would not believe the frames I dragged home when clients wanted them removed from their art work to put on modern metal frames. I could not let them head off to the garbage bin where they were supposed to be going so of course I collected more than I needed.
I can't wait to get it put together and hung in the Parlor!
Thank you for stopping in again today..I love your visits and comments! Have a wonderful weekend!

Blessings,
Wanda

  5. Hi Wanda,
    Imagine finding such a tapestry! I know what you mean by the frames. If you want a particular and special frame they cost the earth overhere. A frame maker nearby says he drawls over old frames!
    From London I took back needle tapestry for my grandmother's chairs. It is such a job and needs even stitches, so ... I had the chairs covered in English linen.
    Your tapestry will just look wonderful in whatever place with that lovely frame!
