The X-files: Help a fellow stitcher

Feeling Stitchy question graphic
Hey ev'rybody! Sometimes people ask questions in the Feeling Stitchy Flickr group, which is great. Usually someone can answer the question, which is also really great! Unfortunately, sometimes that's not the case. So, since you're probably not all checking out the Flickr group discussions, I thought occasionally I'd post some of those.. heh, X-files here. Get it? X-stitch - X-files? Yeah, I crack myself up! ;-) Anyway...

Here's a recent one from Caroline /miocaro:
This is a long shot, but I'm taking it! I have a bought a number of vintage unused embroidery kits--stamped fabric usually, with the instructions and floss or wool thread. I have one kit that I started work on and then lost the instructions! It's pretty complicated and while I could finish it without the instructions, part of the pull for me is following them!
The kit is Bucilla #2799 "Autumn Scene". It's from the late 40s.
The scene is a little cottage in the woods.

The kit came with the fabric, floss and even a frame for the completed project, all in a cardboard box. I have everything but the instruction sheet. :(
I have contacted Bucilla and they do not keep archives of their patterns.

Anyone?
Thanks!

So, whaddya reckon? Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there's a photo of the kit in question. Take a look at the image below: Anyone who can help Caroline? Or know someone who can? Either leave a comment here or on the original question.

Thanks!
