This is what we call thrift gold. Hoops. They never have any embroidery hoops, let alone two. A vintage pre-stamped doily to stitch. White bias tape, exactly what I have been thinking of buying, And a stick thingy for a banner. Everything I have been wanting lately in one haul. And the price? I almost want to whisper, I got such a good deal. 50 cents. I seriously love that shop and they almost never fail to give me a jaw dropping price.
And look out for a vintage embroidery giveaway very soon. I’m cleaning out my supplies and want to spread the stitchy love.

Great find! I love the wood embroidery hoops but the stores around me just seem to sell plastic.

Are you going to do the embroidery as it is shown? I could imagine that pattern would also look good in redwork.
Good going on the thrifting!
