Stamp Affaire - #4 Another Linen challenge

The original idea for a card using linen was to use a die cut embroidery hoop. 

But as I started working on this little piece of linen, I began to remember the afternoons spent as a young girl over at one of the professor's wives living room having tea and the most delicious cucumber sandwiches and learning all the embroidery stitches.  It just seemed right to make a little sampler, happily remembering those sweet days.
