Alpine Stag Tapestry

Beautiful homespun alpine stag tapestry

The online shoppe has been pretty crazy this week with the majority of finds selling as soon as I’ve uploaded them. Oh I’m not complaining, far from it. It’s this very notion that keeps me going when my alarm buzzes at 4am most mornings to go out buying. One thing that sold particularly fast today was this super amazing tapestry featuring a stag in a totally dreamy alpine scene, I’m half expecting a unicorn to come leaping over the mountain. Two of my lovely Instagram followers both snapped it up at exactly the same time which I guess confused my website. I logged into Paypal to see who’s payment had come in first. Unfortunately the lovely Lucy from Peas and Needles had just missed out. She was very gracious in the comments section of Insta so I thought I’d give her super pretty blog a shout out to say sorry. If I ever find another alpine stag (and unicorn) tapestry Lucy, it’s yours!
