On a recent trip to Paris, Mirabilia's designer Nora Corbett was inspired to create a cross-stitch sampler unlike any other. The focal point of this sampler is the stately facade of the famous "Le Belvedere" mansion. Below is a portrait of the "lady of the manor," as imagined by Nora.

Released on September 26th, 1999.
