Press-On Monogram Initial - E
This is a press-on monogram initial, which can be applied to fabric. The letter is an uppercase 'E,' and it's black outlined in white. Measures approximately 1/2" wide by 1 1/8" inches tall. It likely dates from the 1950s or 1960s.
In excellent, unused condition, still sealed in its package. Card shows a little aging. I don't know if the press-on coating will still work after all these years, but it could be easily stitched onto your project with white thread. As always, just click the small photo at left for a larger image. Only one available; $3.00.

Reis Nuvo Monogram Initials - Gothic Letters
Early 20th Century monogram initials, made by Reis Nuvo Foundation. According to the paper the letters are stamped on, thse are made with "a combination of padding and stamping" and appears to be stamped cloth (such letters were typically made with either paper, cloth, or a mixture of both). They are meant to be embroidered over (not through). They are off-white, showing a little age darkening. A little fragile.
We have 3 cards of these available, with 2 initials to a card. Just $4 each.

Beaded Daisies Wired Embellishment
Here is a bunch of daisies which will always be fresh...a long time ago, someone painstakingly created these little blue flowers from seed beads and wire.
I counted 34 of these little blossoms. They are all wired together, but you can separate them out to use individually or in small groups. They'd work well for millinery, handbags, or other accessories.
Each light blue flower measures about 3/4" inch in diameter. I'd describe the color as a pale turquoise blue.
As pictured (click at left for enlargement), the bunch measures about 3.5" x 5.5" inches, but since they're on wire that's approximate.
