    1. Thank you for popping in gz. The tapestry was designed by a friend and now it's come to live permanently in the Scottish Borders in its own state of the art exhibition building, which is a lovely trainride away for me when I visit.

  7. Beautiful sentiments and I love that the animals are included. The artwork would make a wonderful wool hooked rug too. Thank you for sharing the beautiful artwork.
    BTW, yes, Brooke Shields was terrible but I loved the cozy pub and the castle....my relatives were from Ireland and if it wasn't for my children and grands I would move there. From the time I was little I always loved horses and the land. My Aunt would always say "that's the Irish in you"...lol! You live in such an unspoiled part of the world and haven't "modernized" except in the big cities. If it wasn't for women's rights, I would love to live in "the old days".
