Celtic Knot in Iron adorning a mail box  This beautiful Celtic knot was created in iron and also the number" 13 "and bracket. Andy Leck , Scottish Lion hammered these curls and shaped this design. The house in the background is lovely too! A Maine Cape with Federal style trim. A classic in this neighborhood. Those are wonderfully kept wooden shutters painted a classic green. My hubby with his New England fishermen accent calls this green,"ma larky" green. Huh??? He has a dialect that is slowly disappearing. Our old connection to England  has been replaced with a "Cosmopolitan" dialect. When we leave Maine and go to Pa,MD or Va  to do shows it really stands out and folks have a hard time sometimes understanding him. Sometimes I even have to translate. Hee hee!

Festoon Curtain Hand woven fabric for this Festoon curtain is in the colors of Pumpkin and Tan . I just finished them and had to take a picture for you. They are actually going to VA to a customer that ordered 3 panels and 3 panels in the Red Rust and Sand that I show below in the next picture. What a treat it is to make these as you pull the cord they draw up into a soft curved swag. Release the cord and they give you privacy at night. I lined these to give the fabric that I wove, I might add on a hand loom, more life and protection from harmful sunlight.    Sm windowpane check in cranberry & sand ,sm check  same colors ,sm check Navy & Stoneware, Red Rust & Sand large windowpane check Here is something the Scottish Lion made for a neighbor.
