Today marks the turning of the Wheel...
a day when the Oak King passes his charge over to the Holly King.
a day when the Oak King passes his charge over to the Holly King.
and it is also the longest day of the year....
...soon enough we will begin to see our days growing shorter,
and subtle changes occuring in weather patterns and in Nature itself...
We will ready our homes and fill our larders with our Summer's Harvest!!

...Have your ever visited M. Finkel & Daughter in PA., they have a website: http://www.samplings.com/index.html
I just love looking at early samplers and wish I could afford to collect them. I feel so connected when standing in the presence of an early sampler... :o)
...Enjoy your trip!
...Blessings... :o)
Safe journey.
Happy visiting.
I am a summer person, so am just coming into my season.
Lovely house and I hope you get your appointment. I would love to visit this as well. Sea Witch
Bon voyage Lori!
I'm sure you'll be over the moon when you visit this museum! It will be spiritual to be in the prescence of such handwork.
I am always a little sad that the days start to shorten just as summer begins. I do love autumn, but am never ready to yield my sunshine.
I spend a lot of time in Saybrook when I visit my sister in CT. I will have to look for this home and I would love to see the needlework housed within. Have a safe trip and enjoy beautiful New England.
