Hello, all,
So here it is July 1st and I don't understand what all this blogger concern is about. I am not computer savvy, can barely manage a post on my blog, and did go to the Bloglovin' yesterday and signed up. Got up this morning, and blogger.com is still there...don't understand any of it :(
I did acquire a new antique sampler last week from Wendy of http://www.pineberrylane.com/ It is a Melinda sampler!!! Although spelled Malinda. It is Malinda Moyer 1845, from Pennsylvania. There is a lot of stitch loss, but I don't care...I have never, ever seen a Melinda sampler, even in a book!! When I saw this on Wendy's site, I practically hyperventilated!! I couldn't write to her fast enough to purchase it. It even came with history of her and all of her children, and where she is buried.
I now have an antique Malinda sampler and a Davidson sampler ( my maiden name) Yeah!!
I may have spoken too soon about blogger, my entire post just went poof! twice... but that may be my ineptitude.
Have a nice week and 4th!
Melinda

Giggles..Yep it's just google reader closing, your dashboard and follewrs are staying.. The sampler is beautiful! Amy
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty sampler!
ReplyDeleteOh that's gorgeous!!! Amy is right. Blogger isn't changing at all. If you were using your dashboard to follow blogs, you are fine. Don't need bloglovin'.
ReplyDeleteYour new sampler is wonderful! I'm still here, too! I have been too unsure to move. I had no trouble with your blog.
ReplyDeleteMelinda,
ReplyDeleteThat is just too cool! And the fact that you have one with your maiden name. What are the chances???
Hugs :)

Very nice. I like the linen color a lot.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!!! Your Malinda (I'd call it your MElinda) sampler is gorgeous. It reminds me of a couple of BOaF samplers. I love it and am so happy for you!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Malinda, love your new sampler, beautiful.....I did not go anywhere, to Bloglovin` or anything, hope all goes well, Francine.
