I told y'all last week about Petit Point, the shop I found in Vienna, and the pretty box I bought there. This is the rest of what I got - old berlinwork patterns - five of them! This top one she threw in free for me. It's of the Sandman sprinkling sand to make kids go to sleep. I like it.
This one is a simple floral circle. It should be a quick stitch when I get around to doing it. None of the patterns were over ten euros; most of them were seven. I had never seen old ones like these preserved and well used. They're backed with very thick pressed cardboard.
Two more floral circles. I'm thinking of framing one or two of these for my loom room.
My husband likes the Tyrolean dancers one best. I think it'd be darling on a purse front.

PLEASE DO NOT MENTION VIENNA!.
I am soooo jealous of you being there, it is one of my dream cities to visit, along with Rome, Sydney, Barcelona, Rio and Tokyo, et al.
No, but have fun.
The are all nice but I do like the dancers. A lovely find.
Jannie Sue - I only was in Vienna for a day,, don't be too jealous. It was a layover on the trip home. Pretty much all of those towns are on my list of places I might get to some day, though. Befriend someone in the foreign service and go visit?
As for the dancers, they're probably what I do first of that set. If I can ever catch up.

What a find!
