Charley Harper Day!

I name today Charley Harper Day! Why?  (Let's not ask why I think I have the right to christen today or any day a CH holiday--you will deflate my ego!) 

A)  Because Bedecked and Beaddazzled is having a Charley Harper trunk show and among their goodies is this new canvas of a robin taking a bath in a birdbath.

B)  Because Marnie is making Charley Harper Christmas ornaments from felt.  It's not needlepoint but it is charming so I included this for the many fans of Charley's work.

Happy Charley Harper Day!
