Yes, they're in the same room. It amazes me how the off the colors are. When you have "bowling alley" rooms with big windows on each end, the light varies a lot. This is the same room I had so much trouble photographing last week. The one with the painted entertainment center. I'm not much of a photographer, either. I also had to angle the camera to keep the glass from reflecting the light. Sigh.
They came unframed and The Dollar Tree had these frames, which were originally a frame within a frame. I just popped out the smaller, inner frame and put the tapestries in. They will probably eventually get a gold leaf frame, but until then, at least they're up rather than out of sight, out of mind.
They're on either side of the entertainment center, just below a pair of candelabras.
And what about those candle-less candelabras? They were $10 for the pair at an estate sale a few years ago. That was without the prisms. The prisms would have cost a total of $70, but I already had enough to almost complete one candelabra from a chandelier my husband accidentally bumped into and broke.

We came home from church this morning and took a nap -- for the rest of the afternoon! Him on one couch, me on the other. I'd still be asleep if the phone hadn't awakened me.
During awake times, I read a little book, Count Those Buzzards! Stamp Those Grey Mules! by Kathryn Tucker Windham, a folk writer from Alabama who writes about the south. Her most famous books are 13 Alabama (Georgia or Tennessee or...) Ghosts and Jeffery. This book is a little booklet about southern superstitions. I remembered many of them and some I never heard of. Some are probably southern in nature, others are universal.
One that I still try to live by is not to sew on Sunday. I always heard that every stitch you take on Sunday, you take out on Monday. Her version is, "Every stitch you take is a prick in our Saviour's side."
Hope I didn't ruin Sunday sewing for you all now.
