I didn't even complete all the charted stitches in the left window to know I want to change it. Too crowded. Substituted with darker 612 for more contrast with the lighter thread used for glass.
So I tried two other options....
I think the one on the right will work best.
Thanks for the suggestions on Liberty. Now I am considering a pillow based on them. And yes, I have lots of those, but a cannoli along with a berry or heart mixed in the bowl would be nice. Thinking ......
Found this at Hobby Lobby, scrappy wood which I will paint, but great size. Perfect for displaying those little pillows and especially Santas and small Christmas. Back has hanger for walls. Narrow enought to keep display upright but also room for other dookies mixed in if wanted. Hubs will make one with nice wood. We could use a thin dowel or metal rod in place of the wood across front, would show the entire pieces. Not really needed though. Pretty versatile. The small florals I've stitched could be featured with mom's tatted hanky peeking over the front edge. Her deep blue Evening in Paris bottle and a few treasures mixed in. Lots of options. I think hubs will be making several in various widths!
That's it!
Have a great day.

Great display piece. Good thing hubs is so talented, but I bet you could make it too!
Would hubs consider taking orders ?😉 I need to get out of the house more and find myself a new treasure….or two.
A nice display for your goodies. All will display so nicely in there. Love your latest stitch too. Janice
Yup...definitely window revision on far right.... (Dang you stitch fast!) Great new display piece. One with a metal rod would be fantastic. I agree with Maureen...hubby needs to think about taking orders!
A lovely display for your stitches,so much better than the big round tray I have them on.
For the windows I like more the middle one,because there are so many windows so it would still looks very busy...I think, but it's your sampler.....😊
Take care and a great weekend, Truus from Holland
What a wonderful display piece you found, Marly! I can envision it in different sizes. Your window solution looks great.
I like the far right window solution. Gosh that's a lot of windows though.... You and your Hubs are quite the creative pair! That display piece is lovely.
