It was so nice to see Candy, who is one of the designers from The Workbasket. I first met Candy and her business partner, Mary, years ago at a needlework tradeshow. For 14 years Candy lived overseas when her husband was working at The Hague. Luckily for me, we got to visit her overseas when Tom had business in Belgium. A mutual friend took us up to Gouda (in the Netherlands) to meet Candy at a sampler exhibit.
Seeing sweet Betsy (my cousin once removed) and meeting her fiance BJ...
Betsy and BJ are getting married next month in Colorado Springs. I sure wish I could make it back there for the festivities.
Exquisite scenery...
The red rocks at Garden of the Gods and the views of Pike's Peak were breathtaking.
Antiquing....
I'm tickled pink with my special finds. I've been trying to learn more about the Black Forest carved bird pincushion and thimble holder. If you know anything, let me know. The acorn thimble holder is also exquisite.
Now it is time to get settled at home and get ready for my upcoming classes in Cincinnati and San Francisco.

Beautiful pictures, Ellen. Looks like such a lovely trip. And your finds -- so cool! That Black Forest pincushion is wonderful!
Glad you had such a nice time in Colorado!!!!!! It's such a special place and you got to experience all our weather, LOL.
Ellen I am so happy you had a great time, the pictures are lovely, the Blackforest carved pin cushion are rare and run between 100.00 and 1000.00 and up the fabirc is not what comes with it, the original fabric would have been red and a little rough to the touch, they are made in Germany as far back as 100 plus years, you are a lucky Lady to have this.
