Hello,
Welcome to
Tuesday's Treasures. This week I will share with you a Fireplace Screen that I bought years ago at a garage sale for something like $5.00. I remember I bought some patchwork books at the same time.
Now I bought this off a lady who was retiring to the city. None of her children wanted this and I guess you can't take everything when you downsize. I actually went to school with her daughter so had known them for a long time. Her husband gave her the kit on her 1st Wedding Anniversary many years ago. There is certainly a great amount of work that went into this tapestry.
I love this fireplace screen and the story behind it. To see lots more treasure's check out
Melody's blog. Thanks for visiting.
Happy days.

What a lovely treasure! I can see why you like it. So much prettier than the curtain we have hanging up in front of our fireplace when it's not in use (keeps the draft out).
That is such a lovely firescreen - so great it has a home where it is loved and appreciated for the work in it...

It is a really beautiful fire screen. Well done for finding it and thank you for sharing it.
Great find. I'd bet the lady was pleased that it went to someone who appreciated it. It must be hard to give up something she had made.
Makes you appreciate it even more!

How beautiful and so much work , I am surprised her family were not interested in having it considering the history of the kit .So glad you have it to enjoy , it is indeed a treasure.Sheila
What a special story behind the screen!
What a lovely screen and story. Amazing that none of the children took it. Such a wonderful memory of their childhood.
A beautiful treasure, Bev.
Have a happy weekend!
