Back to teaching pick-me-up

The following website reminds us of the small things which make us smile on a bad day or any day for that matter...

Another Op Shop find!

Whilst sorting through bargains at our local Shop on Taieri, I found this cute embroidery sampler that I mounted into an old oak frame. A $2 bargain without all the effort involved in stitching!
