And I got outdoors at lunch in Richmond on Friday, and took a photo of this old building. There are lots of such buildings in Richmond--it's a city with a huge stock of unrestored structures with good bones or at least interesting details. See the "Horses Horses" faded paint on the bricks? Wonder if it was a feed store, and if so, how recently. Sixties? Earlier? Wonder how long it takes for paint to fade to this extent.
Off I go. In the meantime, Elvis counsels a good luxurious scratching session.
Happy week ahead!

Your Ann Smith is so beautiful! I'm enjoying watching your progress -- and wishing I were stitching her myself!
I love those old buildings with the faded advertising. So interesting.
I have seen buildings nearly 100 years old you can still just see the painted writing.

Gosh that Ann Smith gets prettier every time you post! And Elvis looks as spiffy as ever!
Love the progress on AS!
Love that old building, too... It's too bad no one has restored more of Rishmond, but at the same time... it's pretty great to be able to see the patina of time, isn't it?
Have a great week!
lovely stitching, Glenna. I love finding buildings with old lettering on them, so much history. Elvis is as ever adorable

These old buildings are beautiful in some way and they hide a lot of history. Sometimes I'd like to travel back an time and see them like they were in old times.
Nice progress on Ann.

I am so enjoying seeing your progress on Ann Smith - those colors are gorgeous! Great building picture, too. It would interesting to know its original use!

Loving Ann Smith. Wouldn't that building look cool on a sampler with the "Horses Horses" writing on it. Fun!
Your WIP is SOOOOO pretty, Glenna! I love the pic of the old building, too. I always wonder at the history those buildings have seen. Elvis is very handsome. ;)
Watching paint fade sounds like such a peaceful, quiet hobby. ;)
Beautiful work, as usual! Elvis looks like he's taking it in stride.
Thank you for your good thoughts. Freckles is much perkier today and happy to be home. We're hopeful that all is well.
Where are the rest of your rabbits? In their Rabbit hutches?
