I’m including a pair of bronze scissors with a tiny, cream, strawberry fob. It is firmly stuffed with sawdust. Kindly asking $80.00 and $6.50 for travel fare.

You'll find this beautiful strawberry is about 5 1/2" long and 2" wide. The bottom portion of the strawberry is a hand-dyed linen that I cross-stitched on. The beautiful purple flowers have been stitched with hand-dyed threads. I have filled the strawberry with walnut shells and wool. The top of the strawberry is a wooden finial that I painted with FolkArt milk paint, aged, and then stained to look old. I have adorned the strawberry with a few glass headed pins and a beautiful hand-dyed silk ribbon.
