Not going to the right places, I guess. Love how everything is labeled. Can't tell - was it just vendor and price or do those little tags say what the item is? I love the pink stripe on the 9-patch top. Looks like the top is in really good condition. I'd love to go shopping with you!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045447993210042025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495509534817984313.post-9242115815967579862013-03-09T02:06:36.979-06:002013-03-09T02:06:36.979-06:00the lower right hand side look like lace bobbinsthe lower right hand side look like lace bobbinsJaninehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12872178044060744450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495509534817984313.post-90293136169831041762013-03-08T16:20:55.704-06:002013-03-08T16:20:55.704-06:00I love these antiquing trips you take us on - it&#...I love these antiquing trips you take us on - it's like being right there shopping along with you *s*Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17872055894285312153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495509534817984313.post-64425832672104673132013-03-08T09:34:38.071-06:002013-03-08T09:34:38.071-06:00I could look at your photos for hours.

Now i know what I am going to do with some nine patches I pieced and then didn't use!!! Thank you for sharing and I can hardly wait for the quilt reveal! I will definitely be putting a visit with you on my itinerary when we travel "home"! Probably won't be until the fall of 2014, but it would be fun to spend some time with you!!<br /><br />Blessings!Donienehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08756224977419687996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495509534817984313.post-75972838679198528352013-03-07T09:15:14.264-06:002013-03-07T09:15:14.264-06:00The levels of the sewing box are probably the orig...The levels of the sewing box are probably the original.

I never see such nice things around here (maybe I don't look in the right places). In the photo that included what you purchased, are those darning eggs on silver handles to the upper right of the box? I've never seen anything like that.<br />Can't wait to see the quilts.Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.com
