This is a sampler worked by Mary Mallaber in about 1821.
The text reads
Catch then, O catch the transient hour,
Improve each moment as it flies:
Life's a short summer, man a flower,
He dies; alas: how soon he dies
This is a quote from Dr Johnson, an author who published A Dictionary of the English Language in 1755.

This is a sampler worked by Elizabeth Taylor, who was born 13th October 1780.
The top third contains the Lord's Prayer and the text of the bottom two thirds reads
'When my short glass its latest sand shall run. And death approach to fright the lookers-on;
Softly may I sigh out my soul in air. Stand thou, my divine guardian angel, there:
Guide and conduct her thro' the milky-way, to the bright regions of eternal day.
If I am right, oh! Teach my heart, still in the right to stay,
If I wrong, thy grace impart to find that better way'.

Samplers were first made in the 1400s or 1500s as a way of remembering different types of stitches or patterns. Over time they evolved into pieces of work made by young girls, proving their knowledge and patience.

Gotta love the Lomo Action Sampler.
I took this image as part of the 50$ camera project ran at Epic Edits.

The jam sampler platter comes with 3 jams, 2 large buttermilk scones and butter ($7).
Silverware, linen and laser embossed wood serving platter complete the charming service. Also great company from Sophie and Bobby. :)
Look at the jams. Besides colour, it was the suspended fruit and gorgeous elderflowers in the strawberry-gooseberry-elderflower jam that caught my eye. So pretty. Even better, the taste and texture. It was a concentrated but loose jam, almost runny but not drippy. The mild sweet and tartness, was complimented by the floral aroma; it was neither saccharine nor did it have anything the tasted standardized monotonous. It just reminded me of fresh, off the vine, wild strawberries that you pick in mid-afternoon, after you brush off some of the residual dirt.
Did I mention how pretty it was?
I was surprised. I thought for sure I'd like the apricot amaretto or the blueberry, white peach and Masala Chai more. But nope. It was the strawberry elderflower that won my heart.
I'm really looking forward to the "crab apple marmalade" and the "plum and port" jams I had the chance to early sample. The holiday season can't come fast enough.
Kitten and the Bear is part retail, part jam and tea room. The small menu features a tight jam-friendly menu. Their hand-made, limited-batch jams and marmalades are cooked in a traditional French-style unlined copper confiture pan using seasonal heirloom fruit that’s spiked with spices, flowers/pine, tea and spirits with no additives or pectin. The bright fruit-forward confiture – some with chunks of soft fruit suspended within – come in flavours such as strawberry, gooseberry and fresh elderflower or blueberry, white peach and Sloane’s Masala Chai tea. They also carry clotted cream imported from Devon.
This is a sampler worked by Elizabeth Emery, from Coventry. She was aged 8 Years when she completed it on 20th February 1837.
The text reads
Next unto God dear Parents I address.
Myself to you in humble thankfulness.
For all your care and charge on me bestow'd
And means of Learning unto me allow'd
It is the same verse that Esther Shuffle used in her sampler.
