Rummage Sale Vintage Embroidery Finds




Yesterday Dear Husband, Emmy and I travelled out in the morning to go to a rummage sale.  The ride was just gorgeous as the colors are still beautiful as we road over the mountain.

It was a church sale I had been to before and knew that it would be worthwhile.  ended up with many pieces of clothing for the family, some bed sheets, baskets, a butter dish, books,   and these beautiful hand embroidered linens - all for $14.00.

I love imagining the women who sat and made each of these and all of the time and care that went into each piece.  I hope to make the time to do some of my own to perhaps become family heirlooms.

Enjoy your day today - it is a beautiful warm sunny day here in northern Vermont.
Warm wishes and blessings,
Tonya
