A little shoe and a gift.

One of the places we planned on visiting back east while at Winterthur and Philadelphia was "Ruth Van Tassel Baumann American Antiques" What fun it was to step into a beautiful antique store with furniture and Sampler galore. Ruth and her husband were incredibly friendly and set up a beautiful table of delicious goodies for us. The best cheese i have ever had if only i could remember the name????
Her samplers are a must see if you are in the area and her prices are very fair.
unfortunately i did not have the $$ to purchase one on this trip but i did purchase a tiny little pin cushion.

i collect miniature shoes and i couldn't pass up a show pin cushion from the early 19th century.

and of course a cute little lady walked a few blocks in this shoe.

don't you get really happy when you find something you never knew you needed.

 and the other great goodie i received on this trip was a homemade gift from Becky (In the Company of Friends fame)

i love it



the inside has all of kinds of goodies and the scissors are birdy-licious.
thanks again Becky
