THE MOTHER LOAD


Once in a while you get really lucky and get to go to an estate sale that has wonderful old, things that you love. Well yesterday iIgot lucky,-dead tired and dragging myself out to go to this estate sale-I ran into the mother load of all things I love! Lots of old textiles, tattered and torn baby clothes, buttons, lace, old millinary, an 1840 set of books, old candy jars, pictures, and fun old miscellaneous stuff. I still have two boxes to go through but wanted to share with you the mother load.  Lots of the vintage and old textiles will get a new life as Christmeas stockings and fun ruffley pillows. Enjoy!
