It seems our decor is going to continue to go more in the direction of William Morris rather than Gustav Stickley. =)

Another lucky score!
When Sharon's stepmother was here, they went cruising around to a number of thrift stores—for kicks! It's often fun to see what you can find. Well, Sharon made a lucky score! A tapestry cushion for $5!!
Sharon tried today to exactly date the design. It sounds like it may have been designed by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones who worked with William Morris. But, in any case, it was certainly designed by a designer at William Morris & Co. in the late-1800s. It is half of this tapestry design.
Sharon's been poking around for cushions like this for a while, but most of them are over $50 for just the unfinished panel. Though, now she may have to consider buying the mate.

Once again, I've fallen a few days behind on my reading, but things are really coming together--the quilt, the basement bathroom, the stained glass station...awesome! Now I need to get away from the computer so I can go tidy up downstairs in preparation for company.
