I am half Irish and my love of the treasure hunt and the rescue comes from my Mother. I always joke that she never taught me how to cook but she did teach me how to build a fence!
Those Irish eyes must have been smiling on me yesterday because I found a few treasures. I threw caution to the wind, left my housework undone, and headed out to an estate sale instead. I got a batch of those sewing treasures I love including another tin of buttons and an advertising needle card to add to my collection. The braille Reader's Digest is from the VOA.
Vintage magazines and needlework pattern books and yes, I bought another oil can for my collection. I just love the old advertisements in the magazines and have been planning to put together some ephemera packs and frameable ads for my Etsy. That Trailer Travel magazine at the top of the picture is dated 1952. I will take one of each of the trailers pictured!!
A nice pile of lace and sewing notions for my inspiration kits.
Three amazing little quilt squares. I have no idea what I will do with these but how could I pass them up? Be sure to click this photo bigger so you can see how they are made.
***UPDATE***
Maggie tells me this pattern is called Catherdral Window and she has a whole quilt that her mother made in this pattern. It must be a sight to see!
I love this huge book of state bird and flower embroidery transfers. None of them have been cut out or used. This will be headed for my Etsy.
You can see the size from my hand in this photo. These would make a gorgeous quilt!
It dumped rain yesterday but I see some blue sky out there today so must make hay while the sun shines!
