This was my final purchase and I love it. I collect milk glass and I have never seen anything like this before. The best part...I got the seller to come down to 1/2 of his original price and fat quarters fit perfectly in it!
My first purchase was this milk glass bowl. You can probably tell I collect the grape and leaf pattern. It also has the grapes and leaves on the inside of the bowl! I can't wait to start using it.
These next three finds made me rather sad. They are beautiful and they were in a basket with a sign $2 each. I cannot imagine how much time went into each one. I told the woman selling them I was taking them home to save them from a worse fate. She laughed at me, but I truly meant it.
They were all beautifully done and I left a lot more behind. I have a towel rack where they will be displayed and cared for. Tomorrow I will show you the beautiful quilts I found made out of feed sacks and all hand quilted. :)
I am linking today with My Romantic Home. Do not forget that tonight is the FNSI. I have a large pile of cut fabric that I will be working on. Happy Stitching and thanks for stopping by! --Kristen

I feel the same way when I see needlework for sale at garage sales! It took those women a long time to make the items, not to mention how much they put their heart into it to and then some long lost relative is selling it for a quarter! Love your milk glass finds too. I have been buying vintage planters and trying to repurpose them.
The needlework is just beautiful, I am the same when it comes to this..............the work that has gone into them. I have a huge pile now and I am going to make them into a bed cover.
