SOLD A Present for Esther MClure, Charming Antique Needlepoint Love Token Bookmark barbed wire sculpture Maybe it's just meTotal love for this sweet thing and for the dear girl who made it for her friend Esther MClure (or Esther M Clure?) long ago a gift from both of them to us now, I think. Teeming with earnest affection I'd say, and in addition to each carefully needlepointed letter, I really love that flounce of pink and white silk ribbon just at one edge. Wool yarn embroidery with hand stitched silk ribbon border, sewn to silk ribbon to make a bookmark. Needlepoint
