Well, how about this for a flashback? It is another thing I found in the closet -- my first cross-stitch! I remember falling in love with the picture in a catalog and sending away for it, though I'd never done cross-stitch before -- I'd puttered around with embroidery, and earned my Girl Scout badge for sewing, but it was rather brave of me. I loved the rather Arts & Crafts-y look of it -- I see the relationship quite clearly now, although at the time I had no idea, of course.
(I remember that some years later a companion piece came out, a man in similar pseudo-Renaissance dress, with "While Ye May" on his scroll. He looked a bit dorky, though, so I've let this girl gather her rosebuds on her own.)
