Tear of Joy Ornament on eBay UPDATED

The Tear of Joy Ornament chart has turned up on eBay.  The listing is a little vague but it looks like the instructions and some thread and beading needles are included.  The posting shows what looks like a beaded canvas but it is not clear if that finished piece on Loretta's original canvas (it has her LS logo) is included.  This sale starts at $12.99 with "free standard shipping."

UPDATE:  Tear of Joy's chart sold at the starting price above.  Someone got a nice deal!

Tear of Joy is one of the Christmas Heirlooms Collection ornaments and was published in Oct. 1993 under the Needle Adventures name.  Good luck to any bidders!

Pierette has stitched Tear of Joy, a small ornament included in a Needle Adventures booklet dated October 1993.  It is labeled Loretta Spears' Needle Adventures Christmas Heirlooms Collection. She's kindly given permission for me to post a photograph of her finished piece here, plus link to her website which has several photographs of her piece and Loretta's model.
