Needlepoint Footstool

Look what I found in a little antique shop this weekend!


The sweetest little blue needlepoint footstool!   It has such a pretty floral design.


It is perfect for my house!   It had to come home with me.


I love the detail on the legs.

I have a couple more things to show you, but will save those for another post.

P.S.  It is hotter than Hades outside today.  105 degrees!!!!   I can't wait for autumn.

  2. Such a cute little footstool.

    You can have those temps - we did well to get up to 70 today - and that is how I like it - sunny and cool and pleasant. Hope your weather calms down a bit soon.

  5. That little footstool is perfect for you! It seems to be in exceptionally good shape - as though it was just needle-pointed. What a lucky find!

  7. Good thing we weren't shopping the same place at the same time...I would have wrestled you to the ground or chased you to your car to grab that foot stool away from you!!! It is TOTALLY PERFECT for your home, however, so I would have relented. LOL


    Thanks for that yummy looking recipe for the raspberry cookies! I have bookmarked it & will try them closer to Christmas.

  9. What a cute footstool, very pretty. It's incredibly hot here, too - yesterday was around 102! Funny how I can't wait for summer to get here, but after a few weeks of temps in the upper 90's I'm wishing for fall... Stay cool!
