Sheena Rogers Designs: A stitch back in time
http://sheenarogersdesigns.blogspot.com/2015/02/a-stitch-back-in-time.html
A diary of my cross stitching business pursuits. Wednesday, 25 February 2015. A stitch back in time. At the weekend I discovered an Aladdin's Cave of treasures on the other side of Ramsgate (my hometown), known as the Petticoat Lane Emporium. It had only been open for a week and there were 170 traders in a 15,000 sq ft building, selling antique and vintage crafts, homewares, clothing or furniture. Here's a taste of how my mind was working as I walked around the Emporium:. Oh, look at that rude tapestry!

The design originated in the far east and I found this wonderful poem which helped inspire my own cross stitch design:. Two birds flying high,. A Chinese vessel, sailing by. A bridge with three men, sometimes four,. Koong-se was soon dis...

A diary of my cross stitching business pursuits. Thursday, 4 October 2012. The Story behind The Chic Boutique Collection.
