A few weeks ago while out "playing", I purchased this antique sampler at Seville Antiques in Seville, Ohio. This is how the sampler was hanging on the wall, with Maria's name at the bottom. However . . . hanging like this the rest of the sampler is upside down.
When I find the perfect spot for it, I will hang it in this direction. (Sorry for all the glare, but I just can't get a good picture with the glass.)
They said the sampler dates from the late 1700's. I just love the animals. I thought it a good addition to my antique sampler collection.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Happy hump day.
Hugs :)
