While cleaning out my computer files I came across photos
of these wonderful antique butter molds I had saved a long time ago and forgot about.
Some of these designs would be great inspiration for designing
hooked mats or needle punch patterns, don't you think.
The Lion mold down below is attached to my inside kitchen door,
it belonged to the previous owner who was an antique dealer that specialized in
antique dolls, he was once an appraiser on Antique Road Show.
Lots of rain will be falling the next few days!
This is when I most enjoy making chicken soup, crusty bread
and working on my rugs.
But today I must travel down to visit with my little grandson.
Hope you all have a wonderful creative day!

Louise...I have a special affection for lions, perhaps because my Annie is a Leo. How lucky for you the previous owner left this lovely fellow for you to enjoy. Enjoy your visit with the new one!

They would be great inspiration for a hooked or needle punch design for sure. Perhaps that is what will be on your frame next?
