That’s the thing with handmade items. They still have the person’s mark on them, and when you hold them, you feel less alone.–Aimee Bender
A pretty plaid afghan in blue and green.
I posted earlier that I was going to a garage sale of “epic proportions” (https://lovethosehandsathome.wordpress.com/2013/08/16/garage-sale-of-epic-proportions/). As it turned out, I guess it depends on your definition of epic. My dictionary says it can mean “of unusually great size,” and that it was. But the other definition is “majestic, impressively great” . . . not exactly.
BUT the day was quite a success from a “hands at home” point of view! I saw many handmade crocheted blankets or afghans and quite a lot of hand-stitched linens. Think how long someone worked on these things!
This is HUGE and so pretty in pinks and white.
Granny squares in two shades of blue!
Old dish towels with hand embroidered fruit–unused, I think!
Four sweet vintage napkins, with teacups.
Beautiful Arts & Crafts embroidery but, sadly, this has holes in it.
Can you see why I find it so hard to pass these items up, when I see them?
