my FleaMarket / Op shop finds .. embroidery ~ a little Bird Told Me

yes, a little bird told me about some embroidery things recently donated to a local Op Shop, so off I went, and was certainly NOT disappointed.
a great Readers Digest book of Needlecraft, this is a huge volume and full of treasures, a Creative Embroidery book, with 48 project cards, each one with full instructions on the back, and 2 almost completed SEMCO small doilies.
There was also an interesting book, (I haven't read it yet) about how to convert your knitting patterns to crochet patterns!
Added to the huge stash I had in my car, from some recent Op shopping where I didn't have time to unload -- I certainly had lots to find new spots for in the Spare Room today.

And I am sure Sophie's friends over at  Her Library Adventures, Flea Market Finds will also have lots of unpacking to do this week.  If you are into Op Shopping and Garage Sales you will be in good company over there.

    I have the Readers Digest book. Lots of great information in there! The knit to crochet book sounds intriguing.
    Great finds!

    Kylie, yes its is hibiscus flower, and NO I cannot crochet so they will NOT be completed by me, but I love the little birdie one so I may frame it?

    Lyndel awesome finds! Embroidered pieces seem to be hard to come by at my op shops. I just spent a bit on ebay buying some. The books look wonderful too.
