Oh my Goodness!!
This Young Person...
'Freddy',
Fell in Love, with Friend, Kathleen's Drum, Sunday morning.
but...
'Mom'...
said "No." to the purchase.
: (
The Mad Hatter...
said,
"Merry Christmas... Freddy!!
: ) : ) : )
I Know... Kathleen would Want YOU To Have This!!"
<3 <3 <3
Told Freddy, All About Kathleen...
<3
What an AMAZING Music Teacher She Was... and So Much More!!
<3 <3 <3
Kathleen Devoted her Life... to Children, and Music.
<3 <3 <3
Freddy is in a Marching Band, and... Loves Music.
<3 <3 <3
Meant To Be.
<3
The 'Rabbit' Girl.
<3
She's Such a Sweetheart.
: )
Several... of The Rabbit Hole's Bunnies, have found their way to Junk Jubilee, over the years.
She fell in Love... with The Big Bunny, I brought in, Saturday morning.
<3
: )
He... was kinda pricey... {Special Bunny <3}
The Rabbit Girl, told me... she had to take a lap, around The Show, to 'think'... but, when she made it back to our booth, The Special Bunny, had found another Home.
{A Very Good One, I assured her. <3}
Late in the day, on Sunday... she stopped by, and showed me A Treasure, she'd Just Found!!
<3
It's a Darling... 1970's Rabbit Purse.
: )
Love It!!
<3
A Very Sweet Neighbor, at JJJ... had purchased a few Treasures, from Simply Iowa.
<3
When I delivered them, noticed an AMAZING Quilt, she was using for display, under an Old... Old... Painted Cupboard.
oh my.
It...
Grabbed me.
<3
You couldn't 'see' much of it, but... didn't have to.
It... Has 'Soul'.
Wow!!
We worked out a Trade.
: )
said... to my Pal, "Ya Know.... What Grabbed Me, about This Old Soul???"
She pointed out the long.... worn, and shredded fabric, circled in the above image.
{Which I LOVE <3}
: )
No...
: )
it was the sharp... cut, pointy pieced pieces, in a square, that looked like broken glass,
or... broken mirror shards.
Unusual... 'Crazy Quiltish'.... Piecing.
It...
Grabbed me.
<3
My Pal... kept it through JJ, for display... so, I... didn't get to 'See'... The Quilt, until we were loading out, last night.
Nearly Dropped, when I laid this Quilt Out, to be able to take in...
The Entire 'Picture'.
Was Frozen... in my tracks, while examining it.
What I couldn't see, of The Soulful Quilt, while being used as a table cover...
was The Rest of The Story.
oh my.
The other end, most likely... the top/first edge/row, began as a Log Cabin Quilt.
{Log Cabin Quilt's became popular with President Lincoln, in the 1860's... as he was born in a Log Cabin.
<3
The center of a Log Cabin square... is usually red, to represent The Hearth of The Home.}
then...
as the rows of Squares...went on, in this Soulful Quilt,
it was like...
The Log Cabin...
was
Shattered like Glass, or... a Broken Mirror.
: ( : ( : (
I've Never Seen, Anything.... Like This Amazing Piece.
Ever.
TOTALLY 'Understand', This Quilt.
<3 <3 <3
oh my.
<3
It's So Perfectly.... Worn.
<3
It's Been Used, and Loved.
<3
It's all hand pieced.
The stitching isn't 'Finely'... done, but... It's Beautifully, and Soulfully...
Done.
: )
<3
This... Old Soul,
Tells Quite a Story.
: )
We sold... All of The Lovely, Early... 'Pristine' Quilts, that Hank brought, that had belonged to his Wife, and my Friend, Pam... over the weekend.
<3
They All went to Loving Homes!!
Into... Appreciative Hands!!
<3
That's All Hank Wanted.
<3
: )
They Were Beautiful... Quilts.
<3
They'd been finely quilted, way back, then... saved, in a Blanket Chest, for over a hundred years.
: )
barely used.
: )
but...
I... wasn't interested in one of them.
Not... my style.
: )
SO Appreciated Everything About Them...
from The Fabrics, to The Handwork!!
GADS!!!
Beautiful!!!
just...
not my 'style'.
: )
Above...
Is, my style.
<3
The Fabric... on the back, of The Soulful Quilt, is... incredible.
Early...Early...Early.
<3
Miss... That Polly!! <3
Indeed.
<3
; )
As a Very... Very... Wise Friend, told me Long... ago,
"It's All... About The Journey."
: )
Went through the documents Fairfax's Mayor... sent on Friday, a little more thoroughly, this morning.
I... really shouldn't have.
: (
Just... coming off of a Long, weekend. Many Long weeks, well...
; )
going over what she sent,
{was... 'provided' to her.}
; )
hahahahahahaha....
oh my.
: )
Every time... over the years, having to 'deal'... with Fairfax, and IDOT District 6,
concerning The Fairfax Bike/Trail... 'accommodations',
that... 'aren't and weren't'... and... blah, blah, blah...
Yet Are,
and have
left Us, in a Basin...
an
old
saying...
comes to mind...
'If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance...
baffle 'em, with 'Bullshit'.
{or, from my seemingly Never Ending...
experience...
Bury... 'em,
Drown 'em...
in 'Bullshit'. }
: (
My...
humble opinion.
bless all of their hearts.
I'm so incredibly weary, today.
Grateful... For Our Amazing Veterans.
<3 <3 <3
Grateful... for Their Holiday.
it... saved me, too, today.
<3
Spending this day... in my old flannel robe.
<3
Thanks So Much... to The Junk Jubilee Family, for Hosting an Amazing Event!!
<3
Thanks to ALL Who Visited JJJ.
<3 <3 <3
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.
