Three Loretta Ornaments on eBay

An eBay seller has posted three of Loretta Spear's Needle Adventures heart ornaments.  All three are Buy It Now auctions with a price of $33.00 plus $7.73 shipping via US mail.  In all three auctions you can make an offer.  All three auctions come with the instructions and a piece of needlepoint canvas.  The first ornament is 1992's "Springtime."  

Auction #2 is "Christmas Heirlooms" from August 1992.  

The third auction is "Victorian Heart."  The date on this is unknown (I suspect it is also from 1992 but I don't know for sure) but this comes with a line drawn canvas with Loretta's LS logo.

Medieval Tile Stocking Kit on eBay

The full kit for Loretta's "Medieval Tile" stocking is available as a Buy It Now auction on eBay for $35 plus $8.06 USPS ground shipping.

This is a September 1993 chart from Needle Adventures.  The sale includes canvas on stretcher bars, the instructions, green seed beads, and two skeins of which is likely overdyed cotton floss from Needle Necessities.  A canvas on stretcher bars is also included but one picture shows the Ash Rose 18 count canvas with Loretta's LS logo but other pictures show white canvas.
