Avon Owl

This my latest stitched piece:

 

It's more orange than pink.  The photo looks a little washed out.  The owl is a necklace that came from Avon back in the 70's.  My mom was an Avon Lady for over 30 years.  I actually have 2 of these.  This one is mine and I have my grandmother's as well.  I'm thinking of using Grandma's on a Winter themed block.

The gold trim at the bottom is vintage, probably from the 30's or 40's.  I picked it up at a flea market years ago.  I still have quite a bit left so I'll be using more on future blocks.

I've been quite taken with the beautiful floral vines that Jennifer Clouston does.  I'm going to order a couple of her books .  You can see her inspiration in the vine on the top starting in the middle of the block.

In other news, I worked on updating my blog some more last week.  It needed some de-cluttering.  I still have a few more things to do which I'll get to later this week.  I also changed the banner in my Etsy shop to the plain black/white Kitty & Me Logo.  I'll change the banners on my future publications too.

I'll need to sew up some more blocks soon.  This was my last pre-sewn piece.
