I was time-wastin' for a few minutes today and stumbled over this
wonderful old sampler. Check out the third photo down on the right-hand

Dangerous place to browse! It is quite a piece. Must've been a very

It was another age. No television, often not too many books and a
heavy accent on a 'lady' learning to use her needle to advantage and
being far more marriageable as a result.
