Thrifted: Geisha Needlepoint Pillow

Feast your eyes....just not upon that upholstery.

Behold one of my thrift store finds from the family Thanksgiving vacay in Florida that I didn't share with y'all.   Now before you get upset with my non-disclosure, let me say that I had bigger, better plans for this framed needlepoint geisha.

I love needlepoint, I think it is a hobby that I would like to pick up.  Needlepoint pillows hold a special fascination for me, they have a vintage feel that I adore.  Things I don't love:  framed needlepoint works and the price of needlepoint pillows.

Thus a solution was born....

I popped that sucker right out of it's frame, added some backing, stuffed it, and threw on some trim.  My $7 needlepoint pillow makes me feel like painting my face and learning the fine art of geisha tea service with my spare money.  

Now I will forever be on the lookout for framed needlepoint work!
