For those who would like to learn knitting and needlepoint, Mrs. Gold- smith will teach them free of charge, if they buy her yarns or her needlepoint designs. I don’t like to teach classes. I think it goes much faster when just teaching one at a time,” says the shop owner. She has all-original designs in ‘needlepoint that can be bought at no other place. They are individually designed and painted for her exclusively. ‘I can have needlepoint designs made up to fit any motif, flower, or device that a customer desires,’”’ Mrs. Goldsmith explains. As she talked with her visitor, the petite woman kept her hands busy knitting a toy kangaroo. She plans to knit several of these and penguins to sell as children’s toys. Born in Copenhagen, Den- mark, Mrs. Goldsmith came to this area as a girl. In her soft accent, she tells of her many years of needlework. It was Antique Autos Roar in Valley Antique car buffs are in for a real treat this coming Sunday when they attend the 11th An- nual Spring Meet of the North- eastern Pennsylvania Region, Antique Automobile Club of America. Rain or shine, the show will be held at Kirby Park in Wilkes-Barre. « At Sunday’s show, trophies will be awarded in all classes. A flea market will also be held. The show will open at 9 a.m. and continue until 5 p.m. sew and knit in the first grade in Denmark. And all the boys had to learn to whittle. She approves of this type of mandatory learning for young children. ‘I feel that it helps them to be more artistic and they always have an avocation to be interested in.” Her avocation has become her vocation, and she admits that running the shop is not at all like work--she enjoys it too much. After she came to America in 1941 she met her future husband, Mortimer Goldsmith of Wilkes-Barre. They moved to the Back Mountain area 10 years ago, and she particularly admires the view of the hills and woods from the large window- wall in her living room. “It is so beautiful in any kind of weather,” she exclaims. The Goldsmiths have visited in Denmark many times and their home has numerous ar- tifacts and items, including furniture, that they have brought back with them. She thinks’ Denmark is becoming highways, tall buildings and supermarkets. However, out in the country, she stresses, it is “quite rural and unique and not at all modern.” She still has relatives living there whom she visits. She and her husband have a son, Michael, and a married daughter who lives in Philadelphia. “We have two and one-half grandchildren,’’ relates the grandmother-to-be. After a tour of the yarn shop, the Danish native invites her visitor to come back another time--‘‘Maybe I'll have a smorgasbord for you.” Who could resist such a delightful invitation?
