in the wool room.......

i love textiles......................always has been one of my favorites.....................started collecting antique clothing probably over 30 yrs. ago................couldn't afford a blue calico dress...then...or now!................... i also love anything to do with spinning (although i do not know how, but would love to learn).........the spinning wheel collection is constantly growing............and i have decided to stock up with parts, and assemble "make-do" spinning wheels for the shop.......what fun that will be...just to see what can happen with pieces here and there...but for now......here is just a tiny little place in the wool room.......

a little plaid memory......

ran across this photo today.......it instantly took me back to my Mom's closet.......for some reason ......alot of her clothing looked like this...............a few years ago...i gathered them up and had quilts made for the girls and i........Lisa, the quilt lady did a wonderful job....even saving the tags and labels inside, adding them along with some ribbon embroidery..........how wonderful that some of the tags were......Luv & Hugs......................God is in the details!..................

$2......treasure!

my $2 treasure............i don't know why i love old barns, or... anything  that relates to one.......i always see the cow feeders in the barn lot and love them as much as the barn.....
thus this story begins.......... we were at one of our son-in-laws auctions last Fri....mainly to bid for someone else on something.......walking through the barnlot...i happened to "fall in love with this feeder"..........mr. priaire blue said he didn't mind if i bid........my heart raced as Stephen asked for the bid.....he got $1.....i got it for $2..............mr. prairie blue laughing & son in law shaking his head.........
it is still safely in the truck bed as i make a decision for it's new home........
mr. prairie blue even asked the other day if i would like to ride in the back and enter a parade.........there is a thought!...............
i am glad he is still smiling and loving me so...........i caught him on a good day for this one...how many hubs would load a cow feeder up for their wife to sit in the yard?.........i think it will go beside the "outhouse"......now that is whole other story!...............................
