I don't usually scour thrift stores but was in one today and couldn't resist grabbing this happy embroidered turtle for fifty cents. The checkout clerk pointed out to me that the date on the back was September 7th, 1974. Two days after I was born! When I got home I did some research and it turns out this is a nice vintage crewel sampler from Sunset Designs, called Tillie Turtle. I'd buy it if the shipping weren't silly.
