Mr. Finch

As I was going through some of the recent posts I frequently read, this site popped up: Mr. Finch, a Yorkshire fiber artist. Finch is actually his surname. Thanks to Deborah Schlegel of Art Threads for posting.

Finch's work is amazing. His use of vintage materials to create insects, bugs and small creatures, is definitely a work of art. This photo from his web site, says it all. He also has a new book: Mr. Finch: Living in a Fairy Tale World. Please pay him a visit and see his work for yourself!
Enjoy!

Oldies but Goodies

This post, with its vintage theme, should have accompanied the previous one, Letty Mac's Tea Room, but I didn't have all the information at posting time.

I came across this vintage online pattern book,  An Embroidery Pattern Book by Mary P.Waring. It is well worth a look and can be read online or down loaded as a PDF.

Letty Mac's Tea Room

The ladies at the yarn shop also told me about Letty Mac's Tea Room. After the visit to the Fabric Center, we (husband & I) walked to the tea room. The food was awesome! I was served tea in a vintage china cup and saucer. Did I mention that the whole place is vintage? Yep! Very charming too.


Enjoying a cup of tea!
