Saturday's Loot.......

......These are my treasures from the rummage sale at one of the Fall Festivals on Saturday....

The blue and cream plate is a little bit larger than a dinner plate....will make a perfect serving platter for the three of us and only cost me $.50.......But ......The pillow!!
It is a hand made cathedral window pattern......you can't see all the tiny little hand-stitches!!
I picked it up and carried it around for several minutes, before i dared to look at the piece tag!!
Holding my breath ..... with a rapidly beating heart....i slowly flipped over the little white tag....

.....(gulp)....$.75....!!

Whoa Baby!! Come to Mama!!

You're going home with me......no longer will you live in a cold, dark, church basement.......

I'm putting you in my child size rocking chair.....with your own baby quilt to snuggle....and maybe a little stuffed bunny to keep you company.....

Mama loves you!!

Enjoy

  1. Great job Linda May! We are going down in Cajun Country next weekend as they are having a 7 mile yard sale! I was supposed to go to the Louisiana Book Festival in Baton Rouge but we haven't had a get a way in awhile and we love yard sales so that won out over the book fest! :)
