• Vintage Erica Wilson needlecraft kits — A wonderful last-minute holiday gift

    Erica Wilson owlUpdate: I just learned that Erica Wilson died this week. So sad. Story to follow. My sister-in-law taught me that there are two kinds of problems: The first kind, you throw money at. The second kind, you running screaming from. If you are starting to get panicked about your holiday shopping (I have not even STARTED, ha), I offer this suggestion: Throw some money at a vintage Erica Wilson needlecraft kit. Erica Wilson is a GODDESS. I bow down. These kits are available, all minty New Old Stock, but in particular I like the selection from Mary aks shoallake153. And, she says that if you jump on one of her Buy It Nows, she will get the package out next day.


    Tip to using the ebay carousel: To go to a particular item, click on its photo (NOT on the ebay logo) — then, click on the lime green “View and Bid” box, which will take you to ebay. Disclosure: When you buy anything from these ebay carousels or after you click into ebay here, it nets me a teensy commission.

      I can recommend shoallake 153. I have dealt with her several times, and it has been a very good experience each time.
