We were excited to bring this small tapestry back into our home, it was made by June-who lived here with her family from the late 60's until recently, by all reports (neighborhood lore) she was a a crafty lady who made and restored tapestries and threw good parties for more people than she had seats for....we never met her, but heard of her passing recently, a neighbor directed us to the estate sale knowing we were curious-thanks Kay.
