Great Gifts for Yourself or Others

 
 
 

It's that time of year when the stores are filled with fall clothes, plant stands are carrying chrysanthemums, and back to school sales are on. (I even saw a tree with its leaves turning!) But if we are beginning to see signs of fall, can Christmas or Chanukah be far away? This past week, we received two great gifts that you can quickly stitch. They are supposedly self-finsihing (although I can never finish anything.)

The first are stunning leather totes. In each bag, there is a small circle for a needlepoint canvas. You could use one of Lee's initials or we could have our letterer extrordinaire do a mongoram or single inital for you. At the store, we are fighting over which one of us will choose brown, red or black.

Then for the kindle lovers in your life, Lee has also come out with leather covers. There are lots of canvases that can go with these. I've shown a red one alone. In addition, I've pictures a brown cover with a golf themed canvas.

If you know someone who has a Kindle or who will be receiving one, these make great gifts. I'm plannin on getting the red one.
