Those stamps were saved, carefully glued into the books. It was a 20+ mile drive to the 'big town' over the hill that had the redemption center. A very big day for me *s*Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17872055894285312153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495509534817984313.post-81163352038485333632012-03-15T01:28:08.803-05:002012-03-15T01:28:08.803-05:00Very pretty and such a good reminder to think outs...Very pretty and such a good reminder to think outside of the usual ways to use our fabrics!

I think I shopped at the A&P for a little while when I first married but they long went out of business in that area. I don't know if the stores still exist any where. My son gave me four plates in a brown that are the Currier & Ives scene like those you show. I have blue & white dishes but not expensive ones.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816001950084090576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495509534817984313.post-28891080413812815072012-03-08T18:49:20.710-06:002012-03-08T18:49:20.710-06:00Your toile and dinnerware photos are just gorgeous...Your toile and dinnerware photos are just gorgeous.
