Needlepoint Soothes the Soul

As I updated the Trunk Show and Sales tab with news of the Whimsey and Grace trunk show at M's Canvashouse, I happened to visit the designer's website and was struck by Toni Randall's  motto--"Needlepoint Soothes the Soul."

If your soul needs a little soothing today, join me in browsing the whimsical masquerade masks, the elegant Christmas stars and balls, the silly "Fred and Ginger" gingerbread folks, the stately rabbits like Sir Edward and his pet black ewe, and more.
