A Few Treasures from the Estate Sale....

Had a busy day, with Liz.... I started working at the shop... but she needed some help... so we wound up spending the day, together... it was very nice... Liz had borrowed Sally, while her car was getting a check up, she brought it back, last night...... and.... I gotta tell ya... just bailing in that little car... with the top down... radio cranked... toolin' down the Hi Way... with Liz.... was the best pill, I could take....It was a warm, 80ish, out... Sunny... and perfect.... oh my...{we even gave Sally a much needed bath!}

Here are a few images I took, this evening, while unpacking the Estate Sale Stuff.... I panicked,

as I was digging through the truck... I was missing some very cool stuff.... I called Bob, the friend who was having the sale, and he said Mark had taken those items with him... Thank goodness...

These are 2 early quilts, I found.... and I'll be darned... one is red and white.... I was asked this morning if I got a red and white quilt.... my reply..."ah...nope".... see... no brain cells... I think they both date from around 1870.... the red and white one, has a tag that says it's early 1800's.... I don't think so.... I love the Comforter, I think it's 'Flying Geese'... the fabrics are very, very early examples.... The quilting is wonderful, on this quilt... and the triangles are tiny... like 'em.... I love quilts like this, that have a huge variety of fabrics.... This is also, hand pieced... oh my... the time.... these 2 inch letters, are sweet... I would guess from the 40's or 50's... fun... This is a double jar lifter... for canning... it's on it's side, in this image... It's really cool, with jars in it... I have never seen one like it... I loved the wear on this Kraut Cutter... and the lolly pop top... Old Egg Basket.... I don't think one can have too many wire egg baskets.... This wire basket is quite large... it was filled with old rag balls... I like it empty... very gnarly... This is a tiny little clock... maybe, 3 inches square... I love porcelain dials...{faces} so, grabbed it, too.... There are quite a bit of 'littles', to go through, yet... I'll have more images, in the next day, or so...
