<p>[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 10241649, member: 13464"]Oh!!! This just adds so much CHARM to the piece! Now I "would" go to the bother of trying to clean and frame it properly! It IS older! I agree [USER=1476]@Debora[/USER] probably sometime, mid-1800's? At this point, I'm guessing that a child worked it.. and it was framed because Mother was pleased! I wonder if you will find initials or a date under the frame... LOVE IT! When it was just the cottage... it didn't do much for me... but NOW... with the whole scene... mistakes and all...it is just CHARMING!!! </p><p><br /></p><p>Did anyone notice that the blue "sea" is lower on the right than the left (and I don't think that is due to framing it wrong). It looks like the sea on the right was actually worked a couple rows lower than on the left... easy to miss if you are a youngster! Is she holding a puppy?</p><p><br /></p><p>If you do go to the bother of unframing, cleaning and reframing... please let us know how it turns out and new pics of course. This just keeps getting better and better! </p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder if the "original color" will be more vivid under the frame or on the back side. I suspect it is the original frame. Unless it is at least initialed and dated; it would probably never be worth a lot... but, I see the value in...believe it or not...the mistakes!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>I think you have a real treasure there! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Cheerio, </p><p>Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
