Their world class collection numbers over 500 items that include 16th century coifs, stomachers, shoes, huswifs, pinballs, caskets, Stuart pictures, mirror surrounds, book covers, and many, many samplers. We are delighted that soon this wonderful collection will be available in book form for you to view, commencing with the Early Needlework Treasures described by Mary M Brooks, due for publication 2010. Elizabeth Feller will provide us with an insight into her later samplers in the following year. In the meantime, we have the perfect gift to introduce you and your friends to this astonishing collection - A Perpetually Engaging Diary.

I hope I will be able to purchase the diary directly from you as I don't have a shop near me.
