Whilst not a Scarlet Letter sampler yet (hint hint Marsha) I wanted to share a new antique I have just acquired at auction - Ellen Gregson 1828.
There is so much that appeals from the verse to
this charming little scene. The figures on close inspection look to be squirrels dressed in human clothing - very Beatrix Potter.
I am so tempted to remove it from the frame to see the original colours but am too nervous in case I cause any damage.
Father Christmas has come early - thank you Ray.
