Barbara's Find UPDATED

barbara Bergsten just found this wonderful ornament holder at Pier One. Shop soon before their holiday items disappear for another year.  Sorry, I don't know how large your ornament can be to fit inside.

UPDATE:  I purchased one of these at Pier One for $8 plus tax last week.  It's light wire with a rough gold finish that folds flat.  It will hold an ornament (including hanger) that is about six inches high and maybe 4-6 inches wide.  I think it's a bit overpriced but it looks good from a distance and displays a cute reindeer made of artificial wreath nicely here in CH.

Suzanne's Self Finishing

Suzanne talks about her experiences with the self-finshing leather goods from Lee/Colonial Needle, and how she replaced the first canvas with a second.

Speaking of self finishing, I think this Sudberry House wooden mirror is lovely.
