More Stash Empire building....

Well, I have to say, internet shopping for cross stitch patterns is just too easy!  Yesterday I received two lovely packages in the mail - one with wooden tags handmade by Marly of Samplers and Santas and some Prairie Schooler designs from Cross Stitch Stash, an online shop which specialises in those out of print and hard to find designs.

Here is what I bought:

Six of Marly's wooden tags (don't worry, not all for me, some will be sent out again as gifts).  Aren't they gorgeous?








 Five Prairie Schooler Charts (plus a free design that Cross Stitch Stash kindly sent me).  The Bear and the Bees design is what started this little spending spree.












Aren't I going to have fun with this?

Now, don't forget to come back in a day or two when I finally get myself organised to post about my 300 follower giveaway (just getting some of the goodies together now).

Have a great day everyone, I am off to a very busy day at work (almost back to back meetings all day). Oh well, at least I will get 25 mins of stitching on the train on the way to work this morning!

hugs,

Nice stash enhancement! I have the bears and bees, partially done. You enticed me to pull it out and finish it. Quick and easy. Now I am envious you have the fox and grapes, one I have been on the hunt for. Can't wait to see what you get started on first. Hope you enjoyed your stitch time on the train.

I have the Fox and Grapes done on Aida and I want to stitch it on linen. Naturally, I threw away the chart and will stitch from the finished piece. I love the others you got too!

Great purchases! :D I love those wooden tags, they look so sweet. Enjoy!

Mii Stitch said...

WOW!!! I'm glued to my screen & am sooo envious of your latest stash!!! All these designers are some of my favourite (along with others :D) and here in UK are quite impossible to find in shops. So, just like you, we go crazy & order them online. Internet can be useful sometimes :D Have a lovely day full of little crosses xx

Isn't it fun when you mean to get just 1 item and it turns into a huge order instead? You'll have so much fun stitching these charts. I love my finished Bear and the Bees, too!
